Instead of instructing players to "drop" & "get back" I created a game where for every player that is not back in the defensive 3rd when a goal is scored, it's an extra point. Attacking wise,it helps players recognise to counter quicker to score more. #sundayshare @SundayShare10

Interest from college coaches looks like a coach inviting you to a game, touring you around campus on a weekend, in-season and giving you football 🏈 tickets to a Power 5 conference game. Or constant text/phone call communication. Interest does not look like a generic camp

Advice to recruits. Entertain every opportunity regardless of division/location. It does not mean you have to commit because you talk to the coach but get to know more about the program/school/area to make an informed decision.

🚨Recruits. Look around at the college soccer scores this weekend. There’s a top 25 that just battered their opponent 😮‍💨. To say “I want to play D1” is not specific enough. There are levels in divisions.

I think an underlying benefit of I.D. camps is exposing you to other players in different areas of the country that have the same goal of playing college soccer. Usually players compare themselves to players more local but i.d. camps bring down the geographical barriers.

🗣️High school players. Don't be discouraged if the offers aren't coming in at a school/conference/division you hoped for. You might have to take the scenic route, go to a different program, ball out & then end up at your dream school. Happens more often than you think ☝️.

If you want to play in college then you need to have game film, especially in the era of recruiting budget cuts, lack of games/tournaments & dead periods. Borrow an iPad, get a stand & get someone to film a game. No excuses. Don't blame high schools poor/lack of filming either.

I realised that in soccer the divisions were blurred in terms of ability when I played PDL (Now USL2). D2/D3 players were keeping D1 players out of the team. Or me being a D2 player saying why is he D3 when he should be in a higher division?

Over half of Americans don’t leave the state they were born in. It is a hassle relocating. In the coaching profession you know this is part of the job but at some point a coach will want stability in location. If you can help a college coach win then they will recruit you. ☝🏽💯

Talked to a coach who was worried that boys going into Sophomore year were too late in the recruiting process. We have to continue to educate & let players know that there's a timeline but it's never too late. Option of schools will be impacted but you can play college soccer.

I think I.D. Camps are great to see how you fair against players from further a field. Typically you see players locally, in the same conference etc but I.D. Camps allow a player to see different talent with the same goal of playing college soccer.

I think if more college coaches could, they would have recruited players (incoming freshmen) come In January (spring semester) instead of the fall. Pros: ✅ 1️⃣Player gets ~5 months on campus to acclimate to college life. 2️⃣ Gets a spring season ⚽️ under their belt to get used to
