The kids are excited. What kind of moron are you? Everyone has their personal decision matrix. Some kids may choose to not play at all if they can go to their dream school. But the potential to play soccer in college offers different opportnities that kids are more than excited to explore.

Kids do not get the interest my 2022 DD is getting without being self-motivated. And no one would consider some of the schools showing interest in her to be academically lesser. Sour grapes it all you want, sometimes things actually work out well.

List the schools.

Nope. But all are in the top 50 of the US News 2020 list.

List or it didn’t happen.

Oh, and you are only risking either straight ridicule or looking like douche. You are quickly entering into nothing good can come of your current tone and example of your DD.

Congrats for her and great that her hard work is paying off but it might be time for you to log off now.

NP, you are the one looking like a douche. I wouldn’t list the schools that have been in touch with my DD as well.

I wouldn’t come into a forum and brag about it either though, but douche is gonna douche.

no one will list the schools because they are all realizing their kids aren't being recruited by the top soccer schools they thought they would be.

If they are hearing from them now, they have to realize the coaches are probably talking to a lot of others and by the time signing day comes along that offer or interest probably won't be there.

pick 2 of the 3 academics, sports, or social life, all 3 don't exist in high profile programs. that was what the penn state wrestling coach told us. he was so right.

Just genuinely curious the benefits of a high pressure situation. Obviously also get the financial benefits of a scholarship but let’s face it we can all afford to send our kids to good schools if we live in this area.

All the kids I’ve met who are good enough to be recruited for DI love the game and want to keep playing in college. And it may just be where we live, but no one I know is choosing an academically average school. Everyone around here recognizes that being recruited for soccer is a ticket to get into an academically elite college. The main parent/child disagreements I’ve witnessed are between parents who want their kid to play for a NESCAC type school and have a more balanced sports/academic experience while the kid prefers a school with a strong D1 program.

I’m all for my daughter playing college soccer if she wants (she is 14) but I also know it’s a ton of pressure and it’s highly unlikely she’ll ever play after college beyond pick up and at a child/parent game 15 years from now where she’ll suffer an injury (🤣).
