During the pandemic, England started giving vitamin D tablets to the elderly because of lockdown. Very important vitamin.

Instead of instructing players to "drop" & "get back" I created a game where for every player that is not back in the defensive 3rd when a goal is scored, it's an extra point. Attacking wise,it helps players recognise to counter quicker to score more.

Keep in mind recruits, you’re are able to join in on a D2 program’s practice. Use this in addition to camps/club/tournaments etc during the recruiting process 🤝

Interest from college coaches looks like a coach inviting you to a game, touring you around campus on a weekend, in-season and giving you football 🏈 tickets to a Power 5 conference game.
Or constant text/phone call communication.

Advice to recruits. Entertain every opportunity regardless of division/location. It does not mean you have to commit because you talk to the coach but get to know more about the program/school/area to make an informed decision.

How I feel.
Women college coaches: “We’re done recruiting for 2034 and have offers out for 2035”.
Men’s college coaches: “We’re just starting our 2019 class”

🚨Recruits. Look around at the college soccer scores this weekend. There’s a top 25 that just battered their opponent 😮💨. To say “I want to play D1” is not specific enough. There are levels in divisions.

I think an underlying benefit of I.D. camps is exposing you to other players in different areas of the country that have the same goal of playing college soccer.
Usually players compare themselves to players more local but i.d. camps bring down the geographical barriers.

🗣️High school players. Don't be discouraged if the offers aren't coming in at a school/conference/division you hoped for. You might have to take the scenic route, go to a different program, ball out & then end up at your dream school. Happens more often than you think ☝️.

Volunteer assistants are overworked (expected to be there like a full timer) & underpaid (not on payroll, working club & camps) BUT hopefully on an upward trajectory to get a paid position. Having been one, I ask those that have been volunteer assistants, was it worth it?

Dead period extended for D1 but my words of advice to prospective student athletes are to control the controllable. Play at the best level possible, film your games, identify schools you like & majors that interest you, internship opportunities, to name a few.

If you want to play in college then you need to have game film, especially in the era of recruiting budget cuts, lack of games/tournaments & dead periods. Borrow an iPad, get a stand & get someone to film a game. No excuses. Don't blame high schools poor/lack of filming either.

I remember taking a recruit around campus & we bumped into one of my players. I introduced them & said what are you up to? Player said I’m done with class so going to lunch. It was 11am. Training started at 5. Trust me recruits, you WILL have enough time to school & soccer. ⚽️☝🏽

Recruits. Remember that D3 can be competitive with their financial aid when compared to scholarship divisions. They can’t offer athletic scholarship but make up for it with academic scholarship

I played every game In the fall and spring at D2, started ~90% of games. I had a great 4 years with my teammates. Choose a level that will challenge you AND where you can flourish at.

Go somewhere you have the potential to be an impact player. If that’s at a D1, great! D2, awesome! D3, perfect! NAIA, outstanding! JUCO, phenomenal! There’s only 4 years of college ball no matter how you slice it up. Go where you can make the most memories and have the best time!

I realised that in soccer the divisions were blurred in terms of ability when I played PDL (Now USL2). D2/D3 players were keeping D1 players out of the team. Or me being a D2 player saying why is he D3 when he should be in a higher division?

Over half of Americans don’t leave the state they were born in. It is a hassle relocating. In the coaching profession you know this is part of the job but at some point a coach will want stability in location. If you can help a college coach win then they will recruit you. ☝🏽💯

🚨⚽️Recruits.Remember you’re competing against players who were on the verge of going pro.I know a player who didn’t quite make it to an MLS first team so is playing college this fall. That’s the challenge.The market (college coaches) will dictate your level. Work to impact that.

Talked to a coach who was worried that boys going into Sophomore year were too late in the recruiting process. We have to continue to educate & let players know that there's a timeline but it's never too late. Option of schools will be impacted but you can play college soccer.

I think I.D. Camps are great to see how you fair against players from further a field. Typically you see players locally, in the same conference etc but I.D. Camps allow a player to see different talent with the same goal of playing college soccer.

Trends I'm noticing in college recruiting:
Players tweeting about their offers.
Prospective student athletes(PSAs)thanking coaches for having them at their camp.
PSAs tweeting about being on campus
Coaches letting us know of a big time commitment
What else have you seen?👀

I think if more college coaches could, they would have recruited players (incoming freshmen) come In January (spring semester) instead of the fall.
Pros: ✅
1️⃣Player gets ~5 months on campus to acclimate to college life.
2️⃣ Gets a spring season ⚽️ under their belt to get used to

Love talking to college coaches that have been in the game for 20+ years 🙌💭. Recruiting then & now is so different. Word of mouth & being reliant on trusting coaches about PSA's. Relationship based recruiting will be more prominent for the foreseeable future.☝️

In life people say ‘No news is good news’ but in recruiting this is not the case. You want news, whether it’s good such as the coach likes your ability & wants you to visit campus or bad such as a coach saying we’re moving on with other recruits…

Be careful with the ‘Bet on myself’ culture. I know players who have turned down big scholarships&good schools to then not get the same offers down the road. Others have got 1 rejection & end up not playing at the level they should’ve. Listen to advice & make calculated risks.

Recruits. Make sure you ask how long you have to live on campus for. Based on my experience, typically off campus housing is cheaper. The difference in living on campus for 2 years compared to 4 years could be thousands 💵💸💰

What a conundrum I saw this weekend for coaches & goalies. Goalies playing a half per game bc the team has travelled two of them. If one goes down, you’re thankful for two but if not then gk’s get half of what they paid for. Tough situation, no right or wrong here.

Been asked a lot about i.d. camps lately. As a coach,I loved them as I got exposure for former programs & got paid.
For recruits,I like them if there are multiple coaches who make decisions on recruiting in attendance & multiple divisions there.
Anything to add?

1st game,2 goals,can't score in one goal,lets move weakside to the other goal.
2nd game,extra point for moving the ball from one side zone to the far zone.
Tactically move ball w/s whilst finding forward passes.
Technically using back foot to open up.
