[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of DC's teammates seem obsessed with being able to play in college. They are strong students from UMC families so this is not their only pathway to getting into college. [b]Very few college players go pro.[/b] Most of the ones I know who played in college and kept up with soccer became children's soccer coaches. The rest had a variety of careers completely unrelated to soccer.[/quote]

Why does this have to be the goal post that measures the interest in playing in college? Perhaps a student still enjoys their sport and wants to continue at a high level. Perhaps it's a great way to stay in shape and develop a community of like-mind people at college. Perhaps they find it helps them mentally and with time management. I just don't understand this obsession with "it has to be pro" or nothing. Also absolutely nothing wrong with coaching. I doubt that most of the students playing college in soccer see it as a career. They do it because they enjoy the sport.  [/quote]
