SPAM ALERT... THERE ARE TOO MANY "AGENTS" prowling on parents/players everywhere. Slow down, and zoom out.

Look... step one in the pathway process is to establish objective self-awareness. That requires a joint effort between the player, the parents, the club, the coach, their school (grades), their personalities/maturity/independence, and third parties (opposing coaches, scouts, players) who generally agree upon said player's level and potential pathway.

1% of the 1% are the only ones heading to the ACC, Big 10, Big East, and any top 100 program for the most part. What does that mean??? Simple math:
273 MLS academies (excluding ECNL)
Avg. roster of 20 on U18 teams = 5,460 players
Assume half want to play college soccer = 2,730
215 Division 1 Men's soccer programs
Average true freshman recruiting class: 5 (X 215) = 1,075
THEORETICALLY... 1,655 MLS Next Homegrown players are out, gotta look at D2, D3, NAIA, JuCo, or "other"
Then you have everyone else, every other league, and every other dreamer.

So ask yourself:
Am I (is my kid) the best player on my (his/her) team, in my (their) club, in my (our) city, in my (our) state, across all leagues, in my (their) position? Start there.

That is not the be all end all test, but it will force you to pay attention to what is happening to the players that are both objectively and subjectively "better" than this individual. Trend lines are real, AND NO AGENT can reinvent that reality, no matter how many years they played semi-pro, coached at "X" level, or what letter license they have. They can't reinvent the matrix.

Hot take #715:
Too many "college agents."
A little playing history, a C license, and an Instagram account ≠ qualified.
