The Soccer Parent's Guide to College Recruiting contains the most important thing I learned helping my daughter commit to play D1 soccer and the most important information I wished I knew when I started in the process. It is the only resource I have found written from the parents perspective and the only one specifically for girls soccer. Some of the topics covered include: Managing your expectations of what will happen, versus what you have heard from college coaches.Defining the roles you, your daughter, her coaches and her club can/should play.Helping you understand the college soccer landscape, including the differences in divisions and what coaches are looking for.The recruiting timeline and what you should be focused on each year and an analysis of when more than 2,000 players committed and at what level.A how to on marketing your daughter with tips and templates for email, social media, and video!What the recruiting process looks like and how you can help her through it, including questions to prepare her for and what to ask the coach.How to deal with injuries in high school.Common questions about changing teams, the different leagues, playing high school soccer and ODP.And a list of more than 1,700 colleges women's soccer programs listed by state. (Honestly that is almost worth buying the book for)Author's Note: I am not... a professional athlete... a former college athlete... college soccer coach... youth soccer coach... high school soccer coach... or a high school guidance/school counselor. I am the father of a daughter who said she wanted to play college soccer and who promised his then 10-year-old that if she wanted to play college soccer and put in the work I would put in the time and resources required to help her reach her goals. Over the past six years, I have made learning about the girls' soccer college recruiting process a hobby. I have listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, read countless books, sought guidance from parents who have gone through the process before me, and used my education and consulting background to help my daughter get recruited and commit to playing D1 soccer. As I wrote this book, I consulted current and former coaches, parents of other female D1 soccer players, and college admission consultants to make it as helpful as possible. Every athlete's recruiting path is different because no two athletes are exactly alike, so I would never claim that following what we did exactly will guarantee your daughter to have the same results we did, but I am positive this book will help shorten your learning curve, ground your expectations, and improve your chances of helping your daughter find the right fit for her too!
