What year of college are you in xavier and what university are you at?

@@Handysoccersc I am Sophomore and St-Francis College

Thanks bro!! That means a lot!! Keep it up with ur vids! They’re going crazy

Good question! You definitely could make a D3 team. Just work extremely hard and take advantage of your opportunities. Reach out to teams that you are interested in and when you play in front of a coach, show your strengths and play with confidence. Most importantly just work and continue to improve

Thanks bro!!

@@CalebWuTV Damn you got validated by the goat , you should put D3 more often in the title of your videos 😂

@@Julien2909 haha he changed the game for D3 talent🐐

👏

Wow that’s crazy! Hard work pays off. Keep it up.

You just have to find a coach who believes in you. My son had scholarship offers to Michigan, and Umass among others but chose to take a full academic ride elsewhere - he started playing pickup with the MLS Next Real Salt Lake team and got asked to join - he declined, his days of competitive grind are sadly over.

D1 is definitely a very high level but D2 and D3 are very serious about football as well. D3 athletes train a lot. We train everyday and if we aren’t training, we have a game. D3 schools still make cuts and many play at a higher level after semi pro or professional. I personally play against D1 and D2 players and sometimes outplay them. D3 players are sometimes better than D1 players. They usually have a little more time to focus on academics and school.

If you want to become pro then go D1or D2 maybe even NAIA. D3 is a lot harder to get looked at because they focus more on academics. He maybe right on the training and being competitive, but the level of play is not the same as d1/d2. Only 5 D3 schools out of the country are maybe worth going to, but even NAIA would be better to play at because it is a mixture of D1/D2/D3 footballers that have a better chance with money for school. What it comes down to is money. He says in the video they don't give out soccer scholarships they give academic scholarships, so what does that tell you? It tells you grades / school matter more for their program than soccer. Messi / Ronaldo are the two best footballers in the world and would have never been able to afford a D3 school from their upbringings. My suggestion is go to a school who really cares about their soccer program and has money for their program because if not you will be paying to play like a youth club.

Do you have a highlight video? It doesn’t matter where you play high school completely. It may affect it but you still have control of the schools you can get offers from. You might have to do more than someone who is in a good situation already at a good private school or academy but if you have talent and display it at ID camps and through film, coaches will notice

That sucks but confidence is key. Hope you have been able to cope with your problems!

Appreciate that bro!!

It depends on the coach, but it would really be hard especially since you are only there for that year. However, there are players who transfer and only play for their last year so it is very possible.

@@CalebWuTVOh ok ok. Thanks my man!

Yeah man you definitely could play college soccer. Just keep grinding and get better everyday. Stats are nice but don’t mean everything... competition, teammates, team playing style etc. Just try and look for the best fit with a college team

@@CalebWuTV thank you man and I will continue grinding 🙏

‼️

Thanks🙌

I like this video a lot. Very helpful information.

I still don't know what spartanstylesoccer means

Yes and you don’t get promoted. You can just start at any division. Usually all teams just stay in the division regardless. No promotion relegation

@@CalebWuTV thanks

I have a D2 offer right now. However, it’s also about finding the right fit. Saying you play D1 or D2 and sitting the bench might not be as good of an experience as being a starter at a D3 school. Also, academics, location, coaches, time, etc all have to be considered

Yes! You don’t need high school experience. This was more just for reference since most D3 soccer players played in high school

@@CalebWuTV for d-1 as well?

@@DaGreatUniter if you’re playing on an academy team that’s probably better for recognition but if you don’t have any exposure it will be harder

@@CalebWuTV oh I see thanks

U sure about that last part?

@@RastaSaint7 Yeah, our undefeated U19 premier team was loaded with D1 players we would crush D3 schools....scrimmaged a few and won handily every time.

@@GizStudPrez No you would not Son. Not how football works. A Messiah/Tufts team.would beat you 10 -0 with their 2nd string.

@@RastaSaint7 Yeah, not a chance that glorified club ball at D3 would do that. I get that folks think D3 is college soccer, it is, but it is not really.....no scholarships, will take tons of kids to pump up their school numbers...if you want to play D3 you can find a school that will take you and your money - D3 soccer can be good, if you are a school like Trinity that gives full rides in the way of GIFTS from their alumni, but for the most part D3 soccer is not good.

@@RastaSaint7 Wrong - D3 schools are club ball - there are D1 Club teams like BYU last year, and UT last year that would beat Tufts easily - D3 school soccer outside of maybe 2-4 programs is not all that great.

Yessir

@@CalebWuTV were you apart of the ECNL or DA or Travel

Lmaooo

It’s happened in the past

@@CalebWuTV how often does it happen , I’m considering moving to a NJCAA school. (juco)

@@itbelikethat914 it’s only happened like 3 times and if that’s the best decision for you it’s not a bad option

nice

Yes
