[quote=Anonymous]Playing soccer at the jhu/williams is not high level and very easy to obtain if you are a bench player on an academy team with decent grades.

we are an below average asian family of poor genetics when it comes to athleticism and have had two in our family play at top 10 lac's for soccer.

the soccer pool at the strong academic d3 schools is really bad from a technical standpoint. If you are focused on being in the best aerobic shape possibly and you have a modicum of skill, you can make it.

I am 10 years older than my siblings and when I found out how large the hook was for being recruited, we devised a plan for my younger siblings so that they became the best athletes they could be.

At the d3 level for soccer, i believe the average american could play at that level if they focused on training from ages 9-17 on that specific goal.

pretty much any race is more athletically inclined than mine, so if we can do it - your average umc white family can do it. you guys have better athletic genetics and richer resources for training.

but it does require focus and dedication if you aren't athletically blessed. we used it only as a hook to get in. both people in my family quit after one season.
