Question
Hi, my name is zach and i am very interested and also very capable of playing soccer in college my only problem is how might i go about getting seen by d1 or d2 college coaches or recruiters
Hi Zach,
There are a number of ways to get on the radar screen of the college coaches and I suggest the following:
1) Develop your personal profile and recruit DVD and send to the coaches
2) Register and attend several high profile soccer tournaments that are historically well attended by college coaches.
3) Make a point of taking several "road trips" to make unofficial visits to colleges you are considering and make an appointment to meet with the coaches.
I think this would be a great start in developing visibility in the eyes of college coaches.
Good luck!
