[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D1 profile now: big, international experience or coming in as a transfer, old.

High school club teams such as ECNL or MLSNext aren’t as relevant. The top college coaches don’t even go to US college showcases any more. They send their assistants. [/quote]

Is this true for D1 womens teams too? I see hundreds of college coaches at showcases.[/quote]

No. Women’s soccer is a completely different beast.  There is a lot more funding for women’s soccer programs. Men’s soccer is an afterthought with huge football and basketball programs. [/quote]

No women’s soccer is about the same in terms of resources(not much) and college/university administration does not give a sh#t. They only care about women soccer if there is a problem. Many of the coaches have coached for years and have rarely broken 500. The coaches tend to have a region(like north NJ) or a favor club/s they pull most of their players from.  The big difference is the NT staff will “advise”  players to a few select schools.

It’s not high level soccer on the men’s and women’s side and there is a ton of difference between D1 teams. If you see a professional team and then see a college team the difference in speed of play, technical abilities and athleticism is shocking. [/quote]
