Unpopular opinion:
90% of college soccer recruiting failures have nothing to do with talent.
Players spend thousands on showcases, camps, and highlight videos…
But never send personalized emails.
Never follow up.
Never build relationships with coaches.
Never research roster needs.
The player who is “good enough” and communicates well will often get recruited before the player who is slightly better and does nothing.
College coaches aren’t just recruiting athletes.
They’re recruiting future teammates, students, and people they want in their program for 4 to 5 years.
What’s the biggest recruiting mistake you see players making?

@CoachJosh520 No and yes. Lots of very good players out there hanging up the cleats to just go to school.

Having been here for 18 years, the countless videos that are hiding on external hard drives need to be uploaded for the alumni.

@Don_K_Williams Just had a similar conversation with a couple of my club girls last night.

🇺🇸⚽️ players out west that won’t seriously consider schools East & especially east of the Mississippi, are eliminating so many AMAZING schools!
Sadly, they are doing themselves a massive disservice!
(And it goes the other way too for players East of the Mississippi)
Have a conversation with a coach, visit some schools, it will 🤯 at the quality
Need help?
Just ask
We have connections with college coaches coast to coast.

Parents:
This may be unpopular & hard to hear but…
If your kid won’t carve out even 30 minutes a day, outside of team practices, to work on their skills, they’re chasing the highlight reel version of success, not the real work behind it
They’re interested, but NOT committed
And honestly? That’s perfectly fine!
Not every child is built for that level of daily dedication in one sport
As a parent, our job isn’t to force it, it’s to help them find the activity, sport, or passion where that extra effort feels worth it to THEM
The right thing lights the fire; the wrong one just burns them out
