In a world where technology provides a unique vantage point for college coaches into the player profile, we tackle some key ideas around standing out amongst the crowd and how your player can differentiate themselves from others.

Here are the facts, yes, seeking to play college soccer is achievable for most young athletes, but, it's critical that the process is given the time needed to make these goals come true. It is also extremely important and covered in today's episode that both players, parents, and coaches develop a realistic approach and respect for this process. The numbers, unfortunately, don't lie: the NCAA estimates that out of approximately 450,000 male players only a total of 25,000 ends up participating in college soccer. For female athletes, out of an estimated 400,000 players, only 27,000 end up playing college soccer.

The positive for today's listeners is that Bradley provides a very detailed, yet simple roadmap to get your young college hopeful from their freshmen year of High School through signing day their senior year. With Bradley's wealth of knowledge and unique perspective, we know today's Part 2 episode will impact our listeners by giving them the tools to be successful along their own personalized college soccer journey.
