[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had kids in travel soccer for more than 10 years. I have one in early HS and one playing in college. One thing that I feel has changed relative to college recruiting from when my older daughter first started is an emphasis on choosing the right school first with soccer being a second consideration. I feel like when we first started paying attention to college recruiting, it seemed like the emphasis was on playing for the very best soccer programs. Now, players are being properly counseled to figure out the best college fits academically/geographically/financially and then see where (or if) soccer aligns. Maybe that has contributed to the perceived "decline" in players going to top soccer programs (what the PP called "college placement quality").

The other thing that was an eye opener to me is that there is no shortage of national team level soccer players who are also top level students. Not surprisingly, I think the same attributes that make good athletes also drive them to be good students. That's a good thing.  [/quote]

I agree with much of this. One can quibble about the chicken or the egg issue but the end result is the same.[/quote]
