The competitiveness of getting in to college is at an all time high. College admissions are getting tougher and tougher, money for grants is drying up, and getting the attention of college soccer coaches is near impossible. College coaches E-mail inboxes are overflowing with potential prospects. Every recruit sends outdated DVDs and postcards at tournaments. And if that wasn’t enough, being a great soccer player alone now means nothing if you can’t make the grades. College coaches are bombarded by good players with terrible grades who wouldn’t last a semester on a college campus.

College soccer recruiting is changing. When I was going through the recruiting process, things were relatively straight-forward. Recruiting rules were consistent, academic requirements were less stringent, and there were only three ways to communicate with a college soccer coach – in person, on the phone, or by email. When I played for the Irvine Strikers, it was easy to attend prestigious tournaments and expect to have college coaches line-up on the sideline. When you played for a big club, coaches came to you. A simple email ahead of time would practically ensure at least a few college soccer coaches would attend. But the times have changed…

How do you separate yourself from the pack? How do you rise above and get noticed?

How the Rules Have Changed
Actively recruited athletes are like a needle in a haystack.

-The reality is that only 2% of athletes are actively recruited by leading college coaches, leaving the remaining 98% to market themselves (The Sports Source).

Soccer recruiting is unlike any other sport.

-College soccer coaches do not relay on high school programs as a primary recruiting source for potential student-athletes. Unfortunately, high school soccer is vastly unproductive compared to club soccer (US Youth Soccer).

Prospective college soccer players have to market themselves.

-MySoccerImage.com exists for this purpose. Coaches begin identifying prospective athletes during their sophomore year of high school.

High profile tournaments, teams, or high schools are only the tip of the iceberg to attracting college coaches.

-To be a successful recruit, you need to directly contact your college coaches and let them know who you are! There are too many talented teams and players for coaches to keep track of everyone.

College coaches can be looking at 50 different prospective athletes for 5 spots.
-You must be successful both athletically and academically to play college soccer.

College coaches are recruiting the players – not the parents.
-College athletes are expected to manage your own life. College coaches want to make sure you’re responsible and mature.

My Soccer Experience
I played college soccer for NAIA powerhouse Concordia University Irvine, during which time we spent many weeks ranked Number 1 in the country and was a NAIA National Championship Finalist in 2007. We were two-time GSAC League Champions as well. My final season I was named NAIA Scholar-Athlete and NAIA Champion of Character. I graduated cum-laude while majoring in Finance and completely financed my undergraduate degree through academic and athletic scholarships.

I played youth soccer for the Irvine Strikers (currently ranked Number 2 in the nation by TopDrawerSoccer.com), where I competed in a U.S. National Youth Soccer Final Four, was a Region IV Champion and Finalist, and back to back Cal-South State Cup Champions. I attended Mater Dei Catholic High School where I served as Captain, was named Team MVP, and two-time Serra League Champions.
