Unless my kid can get at least that, she's going to to a great college this year and getting a free education (while playing soccer).


Serious response to a serious post.

College soccer will hurt your DD’s professional career. Women’s professional soccer has existed the college-to-pro pathway, conventional wisdom has not caught up.

DD also trains with and NWSL team, a European top-league professional club in the summers, and is YNT. Also has agent and a scout / consultant that has helped us navigate.

If your DD wants to play pro at highest levels, with best remuneration, she has to skip college soccer.


Yeah, we hear you. We can't really see how our daughter will finish 4 years of college soccer. She's already scimmaged against some of the top players (arguably) in the world and done great.

Maybe a semester/season of college...but not all four years. She's clearly ready for this level.
