[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a purely hypothetical situation for my kid, but professional soccer players don't seem to attend college at the same rate as athletes who play other sports. I'm sure it has something to do with the differences in higher level education in the UK and Europe vs US and how soccer programs in those areas develop talent compared to here. So if my kid's ability to play professional soccer meant he had to forego college, then no, I would not want him to play professionally. [/quote] Soccer is sport where kids develop much earlier and play professionally at younger ages than in other sports. It's not uncommon to hear of 15, 16 or 17 yr old phenoms. There's no college soccer to pro pathway. If you're playing college soccer, it's becuase you are likely never going to be a pro. [/quote] This isn’t categorically true. There’s a kid from Georgetown who was recruited to play in one of the big English leagues.[/quote]
