What if there are no MLS Next teams or ECNL teams in your area and you want to play college soccer? I'm the Youth College Soccer Guy and I help you play MLS Next or ECNL in under 60 seconds. Get ready to drive. There's really no way around it. We had a student who was driving 3.5 hours of training. I was driving 4.5 hours of training. We had another student whose family, part of them lived in Texas, the other half lived in Ohio, and the dad had to do 476 flights in order to give his daughter the best chance of playing college soccer. It's not a fair system. It is not a just system. And I'm not here to fix the system because the system is not going to be fixed for a very long time. It's actually a better system than many of you think, despite it being financially an issue. If you were to live in other countries, it's 10 times worse than what it is here. So now that we've gotten over the fact that we're not going to fix the problem anymore, how do we still play college soccer? If there really are no teams in your area and you can't fly, etc., then you need to go to middle school camps right away. If you're ready to drive, then once upon a time you're driving, you do not want to just drive to a team just because. So you need to send them your video before you go. If you want more help, give me a call. Links in the bio. Talk to you soon. Bye. That was under 60 seconds.
