In this concise video, the speaker outlines three types of ID (identification) camps that are ineffective—or even counterproductive—for players aiming to secure college soccer scholarships. First, he warns against Exact ID camps, criticizing their claim that college coaches will review camp videos; he argues that coaches rarely watch such footage and that video quality varies too much to be reliable. Second, he cautions against generic IMG or Nike camps unless they explicitly feature college coaches; without direct coach involvement, these camps offer little recruiting value. Third, he advises against overseas elite-brand camps (e.g., Real Madrid, Barcelona, or any London‑based programs), stating that U.S. college coaches need to see players compete regularly on American soil. He concludes by recommending camps that list college coaches, emphasizing the necessity of playing in the United States, and offers his services for camp selection and recruiting assistance via a link in his bio.
