[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have agents talking to our daughter (she's been training w a NWSL team for months). Top rookies can expect around $90-$120K a year in the NWSL.

Unless my kid can get at least that, she's going to to a great college this year and getting a free education (while playing soccer).[/quote]

Serious response to a serious post.

College soccer will hurt your DD’s professional career. Women’s professional soccer has existed the college-to-pro pathway, conventional wisdom has not caught up.

DD also trains with and NWSL team, a European top-league professional club in the summers, and is YNT. Also has agent and a scout / consultant that has helped us navigate.

If your DD wants to play pro at highest levels, with best remuneration, she has to skip college soccer.[/quote]

Yeah, we hear you. We can't really see how our daughter will finish 4 years of college soccer. She's already scimmaged against some of the top players (arguably) in the world and done great.

Maybe a semester/season of college...but not all four years. She's clearly ready for this level.[/quote]
