Men's college soccer has almost no brand sponsorship money, unlike football or basketball. The speaker hires 87% of their former players for NIL-like income instead. Focus on scholarships: keep a 3.5 GPA, get multiple recruitment offers, and start the process by sophomore year.
Some people ask about NIL deals. Have you guys heard about that? Yeah. So in soccer, especially men's soccer, there's no money for you. So none of you are going to make any money. However, because of my situation where I am in, 87% of my students who end up to go play college soccer, I hire them to work for me. And so they are making NIL money as a college athlete because I hired them. But otherwise, if you try and get a brand deal or whatever, you might get a free Subway sandwich, but that's about it. So for, for you guys, unfortunately, I don't want you to think now that there's money in college sports— this only applies if you are a football or basketball or some other sport. So if you want to become a kicker, maybe I'll have a chance for some money. While there are no NIL deals in soccer, and there probably won't be for the foreseeable future, and a really real financially changing life perspective, you can get a ton of scholarship money If you have above a 3.5 and you get recruited for soccer at all levels. So 3.5 and you have to get recruited and you need multiple offers and you have to get recruited a little bit earlier because that's when the money disappears. So you really gotta be starting your sophomore year. If you want more help playing college soccer, give me a call. Thanks a lot, talk soon, goodbye.
