The different perspectives I heard at the Phoenix Showcase were interesting. When discussing 2028s, I heard a lot of “well she’s still so young” from club coaches… yet some of these same players will be committing in a few weeks to where they’ll (possibly) be walking across the stage in 2032.

Kinda crazy when you think about it.
And it helps explain why the portal is overflowing—bad, uninformed, or rushed decisions about one of the biggest life-shaping experiences you’ll have.

It would be so much better if “labels” weren’t driving so much of this.

Everyone—clubs, players, parents—loves the shiny D1 or P4 commit post.
But we never see the 1,000+ posts each year that say: “Bella just entered the portal and regrets her decision…”

“I want to play D1” — without regard to all the amazing D3 schools and programs.

“I want to play Power 4” — without being able to name the all the conferences or schools.

The best advice I can give: DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

You have more access than ever. You can become a private investigator with the resources at your fingertips.

Consistent roster turnover? That’s a major yellow flag—and it doesn’t take much digging to find it.

Use your network. Coaches, friends, clubs… you’re often just a few connections away from someone who knows the real story behind a program.

Forget the labels. Follow your fit.
There are plenty of D1 players who choose D3 because they fall in love with the school and experience.
Just like there are plenty of slam-dunk P4s who choose great mid-majors—we have more than our fair share.

At the end of the day, no one cares where you went to school as much as you think they will.

But you’ll care a lot if you chose for the wrong reasons.

We glamorize young directors and managers, but some of the best didn't really get going in until their mid-40s.

More mature, more patient, less likely to react wildly to situations around them.

If you're "young" and feel pressure — please take your time.

A Chartered Professional Coach designation or a Registered Coach license signals to employers, participants, and parents that a coach is committed to excellence and the highest ethical standards.

What is the ROI of your child’s athletic experiences?

An understanding of the importance of the “process.”

The value of commitment and hard work.

The importance of selflessness and being a good teammate.

The grit and resilience to handle life’s challenges.

To name a few…

“The process is where the biggest lessons are learned.”

Do the work.

[College Soccer Truth ™ @ImCollegeSoccer]

Recruits,

The majority of all recruiting, (outside of NCAA Division I), occurs when student athletes contact college coaches, NOT when college coaches contact student athletes.

You do all the work! Don’t rely on anyone else.
