Fitness matters! The truth is you have to pass the eye test too. Eat healthy, well, and make sure you workout. Show that fitness and eating healthy is a part of your lifestyle 3. Return all phone calls, tweets, and emails regardless of the level of the school. 4. Understand that you are what your film says you are. So Invest in a quality camera and film maker. 5. You must strive to play at the highest level of club soccer to have the BEST chance of college soccer. (ECNL, RL, GA, MLS Next) 6.

When that time comes and you don’t like your options of schools, it’s okay to say no to college soccer. Go be a student and enjoy school at the schools you want.
