I'll REPOST standout student-athletes and PIN this post so you get maximum exposure.
I took a two-week break to rest and recharge.
I felt drained after a demanding spring season filled with posting content three times every single day, on top of my full-time job.
Now, I am ready to fully support all the Coaches and Athletes once again!
It doesn't matter whether it's D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO - the label is irrelevant. There's immense talent in every league, so don't be blinded by the well-known D1 powerhouses. High-level and extremely competitive soccer exists outside of them too.
Hello Twitter! My name is "College soccer Creator" and I'm excited to share my passion for college soccer recruiting. As my pinned tweet, I wanted to introduce myself and give you a taste of what I'll be covering.👋

Harsh Truth: Sometimes college coaches may try you out in different positions than you're used to. Don't complain, work hard and show the coach you can contribute to winning games from any position on the field. Flexibility is important.
