[quote=Anonymous]The reality is college soccer is very, very different than club soccer.  It is a full-time job in season even for D3.  It is a serious part-time job out-of-season for D1, but more relaxed for D3.

You add to it the pressures that come from the need to to also do decently well in college classes, and the still weird covid situation at many schools - both for regular students and student athletes.

Hopefully freshmen are taking reduced schedules (low end credits to maintain full-time status) and easier freshman classes that they have to take anyway to ease the transistion.  It is a very difficult transistion and many kids do not make it well, if at all.

Kids need to go into their freshman year, friendly, polite, hardnosed, and realistic.  There will be lots of people who are more than happy to kick their ass on and off the field -- sometimes literally.

For those that make it through their senior years -- good for them.  They will have developed skills and exhibited leadership abilities that will make them appealing to many future employers.
