A pre-read is when a college like Carnegie Mellon or NYU asks to review your transcripts and accolades before offering a scholarship. The speaker got a half-academic, half-athletic award that turned into a full-ride Division 1 scholarship. To get recruited, you need strong grades, to attend ID camps, play at top clubs like Easton Allen, and get noticed at showcases.
If you want to get a pre-read from a college soccer team, what is a pre-read? So a pre-read is when a school determines they want to recruit you and say, I want to see not only your transcripts, but I want to submit your transcripts and any extra accolades to the said university. So this is typically done for top academic schools where a Carnegie Mellon and NYU will say, we think we want to recruit you, can you please send us your transcripts so we can submit it to our admissions department? And then admissions will say, this student is currently on track to potentially be a candidate to be recruited as an athlete or or potentially even get into the school for every single year. And that's in some cases a full ride. And that's exactly what happened to me. I got half academic and half athletic, which led to a full ride scholarship to play Division 1 soccer. Now, pre-reads are hard to come by. So remember, to get this pre-read, you're going to have to have gone to their ID camp, you're going to have to, of course, make them interested. You're going to have to have been seen in a showcase. And particularly depending on the type of school you're reaching out to, playing Easton Allen or Mustangs is a key point in this development. So if you are playing at those levels and you're not getting interest and you think you have the grades, then you need to call me because then you're probably doing something wrong. Or maybe you're not the level and I need to tell you that to your face. I like being honest because I think it's important. I'm lucky in a position where I'm not your club coach, so I don't care if you paid it. I'm not a college team, so I don't care if you come to my camp. I'm an individual and I only care about you, and I only care about helping kids play call soccer. If you want more help playing call soccer, give me a call, comment call below, C-A-L-L, and I'll schedule a call with you and your parents. Talk soon.
