Getting recruited to play NCAA soccer is harder than most people think. About 40% of tournament players are international, roster spots are shrinking, and transfer rules have changed the game. The speaker breaks down why walking on to Division I or III is tougher than it used to be.
What are the exact percentages of you playing Division 1 soccer, Division 2 soccer, or Division 3 soccer? I want to preface this with, if you watch till the end of the video, you will see that the chances of you playing Division 3 soccer, as much as you guys think that Division 3 soccer is not good, is really freaking difficult. Of how competitive soccer has become at the Division I level. It has then trickled down to Division II and Division III. The roster cuts, transfers are eligible now to not lose eligibility. Internationals whose families want them to get an education instead of going pro, or they can't make it pro, so they come to the United States. 40% of the NCAA tournament were just international players. So this idea that you could just go to a Division I school or walk onto this Division III school is gone. That is no longer the case. The competitive nature of the recruiting process as you can see there, has gone way up. If you want a list of colleges that are in your state, comment the initials of your state, for example, IL for Illinois, and then in one word, comment college. So IL college, and you will get a list of every single college in your state. If you want more help, give me a call, links in the bio. Talk soon, bye.
