What Does It Look Like to Work With College Soccer Guy for 4th–7th Graders, Including Cost?

Hi there, thank you so much for tuning into this video. If you're watching this video, this means you are below 8th grade. And we have a couple goals today that I wanna talk to you about in this video. First one, I wanna briefly apologize. You would've gotten a lot of emails at this point saying, hey, don't forget to show up, and if you don't, I'm gonna ban you. I apologize for the language of that. The main reason is I do get some young kids who wanna speak to me and then don't show up to the meetings, and it's not very nice. So this has enabled me to make sure that this meeting is a good use of your time and my time. So the goals. For our call are the following. Number 1 is I want to scare you away and your son or daughter, and if your son or daughter is not watching, please have them watch this despite whatever age they are. I want them to watch this and treat them like I treat them like an adult, and then likewise, if son or daughter, if you're watching this, please go get your mom or dad. At your age, it's usually the parents who reach out to me, but it could be both. So either way, I would like everybody to see this video. So first of all, I want to scare you away, make you want to quit, because if I make you quit this early, this will make mom and dad your life so much easier because you do not have to drive. You will already have known what the process takes, and you will have decided, hey, this is not for us. And that's amazing because then you can just relax. But if I don't scare you away, then I have to show you— I have to show you what do we do with your age. Now what's important to me is before this call, before our call together, I'm going to send you this video, how to prepare for your child for college soccer before the age of 4. Okay, which is obviously a bit extreme. But the reason I bring this up is because I often have to talk to high schoolers and they say, can we play D1? And I have to tell them, based off of what I'm seeing at your level, you're not Division 1 level. And so this is our first video to try and scare you away. Then you're going to get a video a little bit closer to your age. Then you're going to get this video in your email that says how to prepare for college soccer before 7th grade. Now this is the big video I want you to watch separate from the one you're watching now because if you decide when you get on the call with me, you know what, Zev, we've heard you talk, we've watched your videos, we don't know if it's the right time for us to start. Frankly, I'm gonna be kind of bothered and pissed off, is a strong word, that you got on a call with me at all. You know, don't waste my time, don't waste your time if you think it's too early. I obviously don't think it's too early. And one of the things I'm gonna ask you when we get on our call together, I'm gonna say we're gonna have a little debate. And I'm going to say to you, I'm going to play devil's advocate. I'm going to ask your son and your daughter and you, and I'm going to say, why do you think it's important to get started? You're only 10 years old. You're only 11, 12, 13 years old. I think it's too early for you to start. You should wait. And if you come back and say, you know what, I think you're right. I think we should wait. Then I'll end the call right there in that moment and say, look, I need you to go watch these videos. And in the future, I look forward to talking to you when you feel it's the right time to start. Now, there's a bunch of other videos I have on why you should start even, you know, If you're in 8th grade, I have kids where I tell them to start earlier, in 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade. I don't even work with 11th graders really or 12th graders. So I think that gives you an insight and kind of an inside look to go, look, this is— if I'm looking for the kids that are my level of obsessed, I was wearing 2 pairs of jeans trying to get my legs stronger. I was dribbling a ball everywhere to the point where I took it to sleep with me. I took it in the shower with me. I'm the type that without it, I couldn't breathe. And I told my parents at 8 years old, if you don't help me, I want to pursue my dream, and at your age, it would probably be to be a pro soccer player, then I will walk out of the house and do it by myself. And they were, of course, very loving and supportive. And I moved to England when I was 14. And that was not the right move, as it turned out. And I didn't know that. And there's a bunch of other reasons for that we can get into. And then after all that, I was playing JV soccer as a junior in high school because I'm 5'6" now. I was 4'10" then. And no one believed in me. And then I worked really hard. And then I did all these things. Then I got a full-ride scholarship to play Division I soccer. And then I played pro for 10 years. And I was an All-American. I lived in Sweden for 4 years playing at the highest level. I speak Swedish. And now I love doing what I'm doing, which is helping you guys play college soccer. So in saying all of that, and my focus is college soccer specific, if pro is a route you want to take, it's something we could certainly talk about, but college is my job, which is then to say, I'm trying to— I'm going to show you what it looks like to work with our age, but I want you to know, do you think it is important to start now. And if the answer is you're not sure, then I would say go watch the other videos and come back to this later. If you go, hey, I've watched the videos and I wanna start and I see the value, then let me show you what it looks like to work with us. So here is a student, they're 11 years old, okay? Now when I work with students at this age, they are exceptional, okay? So I'm not working with kids that aren't playing club soccer. Like if you're playing AYSO and you're watching this, I may not be the right fit for you, to be honest, because I'm going to be pretty aggressive in terms of how we go about this. And I want college coaches to start to know who you are. That's the truth. So at this point, you're an elite level player or you have aspirations to be, because I was not elite level. So I don't want to ignore those players who were overlooked like myself, but I'm looking for players that are high level, specifically technically. So with that in mind, you're going to get— we're going to make a bunch of videos for you, videos of you in your backyard. I'm going to give you an improvement folder, how to get better specifically for college soccer. I'm going to start to give you a college list. You don't know what you wanna study today, or your son or daughter doesn't know what they wanna study. But I do expect, like, pretty early on, I knew I didn't love math or science. So I knew, okay, if I don't love math or science, I'm not gonna be a doctor. I'm not going into engineering. Vice versa, if you love math or science, that could be an option. So we're gonna start exploring. And just to give you an idea, if you wanna go to an Ivy League level school, they start in 5th, 6th grade at private schools. They start taking extracurriculars. They start doing instruments. They start going to internships in the summer. They get part-time jobs. They start a business. That's what it takes to go to an Ivy League level school. I want you to go to an Ivy League level school potentially and play soccer. It's very competitive and less spots, et cetera. On top of that, if you don't know already, there's a bunch of new rules by the time you're quote unquote at the point where you're getting offers, the rules will have changed again and I want you to have already had the steps in place, which is to say I wanna edit all your videos, show you how to edit, what we need to do when we edit. Then what you do is I'm gonna give you a list of schools and we're gonna start practicing keeping track. Now technically, D3 schools can respond to you and can talk to you. Now at this stage, what we'll be doing is the following, and this is important. So this is a student, right? We've already met with them every week for over a month, and we're fixing their highlight video. We're telling them what we need to do. They're testing my YouTube exercises. We recorded the meeting so we know what we did, and we'll talk about that with you guys too because I think it's important that we go over the meetings together. We're already writing emails to Division 3 schools. This is an exceptional left-footed winger. He's very good, and he's already getting responses. That part has been wild to us even, is he's I'm already getting responses from college coaches going, can you please come to my middle school camp? So that brings us basically to the quote unquote pillars of your age group. So this is what this looks like in your age group. So you're gonna get a document that looks like this, and you're gonna get this step. So the first pillar is camps. I want you going to middle school or elementary school camps. These are not the camps where you go to a pool and you have fun. This is soccer all day long with lunch that hopefully is fun, or you're watching the World Cup, or you're watching the Champions League, or whatever the time of year it is. Or the, you know, depending on what year we're watching, could be the Euros, etc. So my point is, I want them knowing who you are. Now, the reason is, every single camp there's always one little kid who's a baller, and the coaches go, who is the baller? And then they go to the parents and they say, hey mom and dad, your kid's really good. What club team are you playing for? I want you to come to my club team, or I want you to go to this club team so I can watch them later. They do things. So even though college coaches, Division I coaches can't recruit you because you're so young, They go, what club team you're playing for and how do I help you play at a better club team so I can watch you because I like you and you just came to my camp and you're a little talented tyke. How do I get you on my team? And you have an advantage because you can talk to them because you're so young, they can't recruit you. So, it's not even breaking a rule. When you're in high school and you're a freshman, that's like, well, technically we could recruit you. When you're 10, 11, 12, 13, they're like, you're really young, but you're good. How do I get you at my middle school, high school camps? What club team you're playing for? So, Camps is really important for us. We're going to pick what camps— there's not that many camps when it comes to your age, and sometimes we have to get permission based on your age to go. And if you're really good at a certain age, we will ask to play with the older age group, which we have to— to do that, they have to know who you are before. So we have to fix your video before we do this. We have to make sure they know who you are. Then we want you to get better. So you probably have a private coach, or you've thought about a private coach. I'm going to give you a set of exercises that that I want you to do. And these exercises are important because they have to do with the technical. We're going to watch soccer together and we're going to go over nutrition. So we're going to do this together. Now, we're not a certified nutritionist, so I'm not— actually, I am, but the coach you will work with is going to be trained by me regarding your nutrition. But we're not going to take blood tests. We're not a doctor, but basic things, you know, what should you have before a game, what's not healthy, how do you make your own lunches for your son or daughter so they can become an adult. At the end of the day, Statistically speaking, they're not going to play college soccer. Now, if they work with me, the statistics obviously go up, which we'll talk about. But the main point is that I want them to become an adult. So I'm going to treat them like an adult. And in my culture, I'm Jewish, not religiously really, but culturally, you know, at 12, 13, they expect you to be a man. And so my mother was saying, you better write your thank you cards. You better go to these camps. If you want to go to these camps, Zev, when are they? You should look them up. You know, you should write the emails. I want your son or daughter to be kind of in that headspace. So with that in mind, we want to go through these steps. Now, the next thing is you're going to have a list of top schools. So this student already has their list of top schools, and look, he's emailing, hearing back from them saying, can I come? Can you please come to my middle school camp? These are genuine responses that he's getting saying, hey, we like you. Like, they don't go into the video exactly because they're not supposed to, but they are going, hey, like, come to our middle school camp. We're giving you permission because the player is really good. So that's That is then to say the club soccer. So you might be on a club team you like. You might be needing to switch. I can guarantee at some point you're gonna switch basically. But this also gets into the details like the Ivy League schools. They go to internships and they get jobs in the summer in middle school and elementary school. Should we consider IMG? Should we consider BlackRock? Should we consider a boarding school? It will very, very much vary. But the other aspect is, do we go to find teams that are MLS Pro? There's another one called now, it's new, USL Academy. Um, that we should consider. You know, is this something that we need to look into? Do we look to go abroad? But not— it's not good for college soccer, but for an experience. I went to Brazil when I was 12. It played a big role on me. I saw what poverty really looked like, and I saw what playing— like, playing soccer for life or death— I saw what that was in the kids' eyes, and it did impact me very deeply. So would we consider that for you? I don't know. I know those programs. We will look— talk about it. But club soccer is really important, and the camps part can sometimes help with the club soccer, and club soccer can sometimes help with the camps. And this is kind of what we're going to do. Now, in terms of like what we're doing in each meeting, this will give you, uh, an idea just so you can see what it looks like. Is with this student, for example, you know, we're doing a lot of emailing and we're already emailing schools because their video is getting sorted. But like in our very first meeting, we have a lot to talk about, like your club situation, submit your every touch video. We have to go over game video with you. You know, one of the things I mentioned was I want to go over game video. This is a Soccer IQ sheet where we track how many touches you take, whether they're forward or backwards, and then we compare you to a pro soccer player and do the same thing. And I want to give you a technical program. This is timed. So this is where I do an exercise, me, Zev Taublieb, and you do the exercise right next to me and you have to beat my time, which hopefully will take you— well, if you get to level 4, you're as good as me. So it should take you a little bit of time because I worked pretty hard to become a pro soccer player. But if they can get to level 4, I don't want to tell you you're going to play Division I, but it means technically you're very good, very, very good. And they're not juggling. It's like, it's— you'll see the exercises. I think they were hard and I did them so I could become a pro. Now, in saying all of that, what does it look like, you know, on a day-to-day and cost-wise? So what does it look like price-wise? So this is what it looks like to work with us. You're going to get a coach plus myself. The reason your Zoom meetings will not be with me The main reason being I have to do a lot of research on your behalf and I have to edit all your videos and have to go over the process regarding some NCAA rules and ID camp. So your meetings are going to be with your coach. Okay, now your coach and I have worked together a very long time. If you're unhappy with your coach, we will find you a new coach, or if you really don't like any of our coaches, we'll refund you and we'll give you back your money and we'll go our separate ways. But the goal, of course, is I've worked with these coaches a long time. They've actually been working with me since a little bit older than you or your age and have gone on to play college soccer. And now this is their job, is they support kids this age. They're perfectly trained for your age because it is a little bit different. So you're going to get a coach plus myself. Then we're going to communicate on Discord. We're gonna have a channel where mom, dad, son is able to communicate with us so that way we can talk to you guys. We will also have another channel just for mom and dad in case you want to talk to us outside of your son or daughter. Then we want to edit all your videos. So from now on, if you're not recording, we'll help you figure out a camera that we'll use and iPhone, and so that way you're recording because we do need video. Then we want to go through game video review and go over the games with your son or daughter. Then we want to talk about the technical program. We're going to actually have them record themselves doing the videos that I showed you before, just so that way we can even give them tips and hints, et cetera. Now they may have, as you mentioned, a private coach, that's fine. But our job is to say, what do we put on Instagram? How do we get recruited? What if this video is really good? Can you record it, show it to us so we can actually also give you some feedback from a— we are college soccer or pro soccer players, so we have our own insights as well. And we want to show you from a specific recruiting perspective. Then you saw the Google Drive and the email system. So this I didn't— haven't showed you yet. So we are going to email college coaches, right? And we're going to email some of them for a long period of time. Like, I want us to email the D1s and the D3s now. Now you can think I'm crazy, and that's okay, and I'm not the right fit for everybody. I'm for the kids that want to do exceptional things, that want to go above and beyond. And so when I say email them, we're not going to be emailing them like, will you get on a phone call with me? And we're you know, will you recruit me and are you looking for my age for my position? Those aren't the right questions. We change the questions, of course, for your age. Part of the email even says like, I have permission to send this from my parents. And one of the things we're gonna ask them is about middle school camps and do they like us and can we come and can we come even if we're younger? Can we go to the high school camp even if we're younger? There are no real rules. It's not like there's a police. Everything is made up. So all of that is to say, I want, allows you to be able to use this tool. So how this is how the tool works, you'll press select all, you'll click write emails, we're not going to select all, of course, we'll give you a list, then we're gonna go dear hashtag coach, hashtag genuine, hashtag school, hit preview, it will automatically put the coach's name, it will automatically say something genuine, it will say the school and it will send it individually to each one of these coaches. So another email say, dear Connor, dear Meg Deludes, then you press send email, and it will go to every single one of these coaches. And then every time you receive an email, you will get a reminder. Sorry, if they don't respond to you, you'll get a reminder. If they do respond to you, you will— it will get automatically organized as genuine, generic, etc. Is it a genuine email? Is it generic? The system can read the emails because it's AI infused through this little robot, which I'll show you in a minute. And it will be able to note every camp you're invited to and whether or not they genuinely— it was a genuine invite or more of a robot. Now at your age, we will still seriously consider robot and this little robot tells us when all the camps are. You can ask it, when is the middle school camp for XYZ? And it knows the answer. It's like ChatGPT but for college soccer. Now, in terms of updating, I have to update this, which is part of the— also the reason that you may not get to see me on Zooms is I have to update it. So it may say to you, there is no camp for the summer, and maybe it came out yesterday. I need to update it so the system has it so you can get your questions answered 24/7 as quickly as possible. Which then brings us to The price. So to work with me, I'm an annual fee, I'm an annual service. So it's $4,997 for unlimited service for 1 year. After a year, the goal is that you don't need me or any other recruiting platform ever again. You get to keep all the email systems for life. You get to keep the Google Drive for life. You will know how to edit videos. You will know how to talk to coaches. You will have gone to camps. You'll have spoken to colleges. You will have done a large part of the recruiting process and you will not, so $5,000, say on average, for your age to do the whole process is the best deal you'll ever find. However, it's also very likely that you will need help in the future. So what happens is once we do this model, we create a custom plan for you and go, hey, after the quote unquote year is up, if you guys say, hey, we love this 24/7 service and this handholding, We want to keep going, we'll create a custom plan based on what we need to do. If you say, hey, we don't need you now for like 2 or 3 years, no problem. You'll always have a place with us because you'll be grandfathered in at that price. Because it's possible in 5 years from now that I will raise the prices or decrease the prices. It depends. 5 years is a long time. But it is to say, this is what we're— our record: 98% of our students have received a minimum of $60,000 upwards of $250,000 in scholarship. We just had a family I'm just going to show you because I'm extra proud. They texted me over the holidays and I'm making this video over the holidays. Is, um, the dad said to me, hey, um, you know, I'm really, really excited. This is her getting committed to her school. She started with us as a young girl. She's going to her top academic school. She got $100,000 and the parents were jokingly saying, hey, like, we'll spend part of our money because you got so much scholarship on having me travel out and watching her play in person in Ohio, which is where the school is. So that was very sweet, and that is the goal for you. You know, that is the— hopefully the return on investment is financial, but also I want you to be happy and find the right coach. And so this is why a large part of our process is based off the following: we want to fix your video, email schools, pick your camps, whatever you've already done or plan to do, we want to know. And we want to help you with club soccer. We also want to create a list for you. We want to find out who do you like. And at the end of the day, I'm going to ask you, do academics come first? And hopefully you say yes. If you say yes, we're on the same page. But then I'm going to have to tell you, well, unless I can make you quit, right? I'm trying to scare you away and make you quit. Then frankly, the truth that really matters is the coach. Because if your son or daughter doesn't love their coach, whether it's at the club level or at a camp or at the college soccer level, They'll be miserable. So our real whole reason we do this is so we can find the right coach. I'm very deep. I feel very deeply about this because my brother had a horrible coach who he never played a whole minute in college, which is obviously very depressing and horrible on our family. The coach was also mentally and emotionally abusive. So my brother had to go to therapy, became depressed. It was a whole horrible experience. A student pulled a gun on campus, one of the players. It was awful. Like beyond awful. My experience was incredible. My father had a heart attack when I was in college. He is okay now. But my coach, you know, played a big part for me when I had that heavy thing happen to my family and I, and I found my significant other in college, my girlfriend and soon-to-be fiancée. And I'm, you know, really grateful for my college experience. And it was all because of my coach who is going to be at my wedding. So, and so are my teammates. And so that is where it's really important to me just a baby little history. This is my girlfriend I met in college. This is when I was playing college soccer, and then I went on— I was playing JV soccer, and then, you know, I played pro soccer. Um, and it was, you know, a huge deal for me, my college experience. And I want people to have the same. I tore my ACL, and that's part of this process. So all of this is to say, at the end of our call, I'm going to say to you, why do you think you're a good fit to work with me? Because I don't work with that many students. And that's when I want to hear from you and your son or daughter to go Hey, you know, we are young for our age. Why do I think we should work together? And I'm going to say to you, you know, you're too— I'm worried about a debate. I'm going to say, I think you're too young. Could you even sit through this 20-minute video that was hopefully on fast forward? Sorry, there was a speed button in the bottom right. You know, were you able to sit through this video? Because if you're not, we're not the right fit. I'm looking for the exceptional 4th to 7th graders, and I don't want to be the one to argue with you, quote unquote, to go, this is why you should start. You know, I feel strongly that it can make a big difference. But if you don't feel that way, that's okay. You can reach out to me later and we will still help you play college soccer. This is for the people that want to have exceptional results. So I'm very grateful. Thank you again for listening for these 20 minutes. I know it was long. And if you have any questions leading up to the call, just let me know. And I look forward to talking to you soon.
