Transitioning from high level club soccer to college D1 soccer

[Guest]

Any thoughts?

The strength & conditioning packet is your child’s bible this summer. The upper class men have already started their workouts.

Living this currently. The commitment is real, the training, weight room, food, recovery is critical to success. If you don’t put the work in you will get left behind. Do the work

Wondering how much faster the game is played. Have seen a few Ivy League and BC games but was not hugely impressed. Girls were a bit more jacked than their high school counterparts, and maybe made a few less mistakes.

There are 340 D1 womens soccer programs. It all depends where on the soccer pyramid you’re playing. Are you playing for top 30 programs? Are you playing P4D1? Are you playing mid major? It all depends on the competitiveness of the league and the competition on your team. The biggest change that players have to adapt to is the mental and physical toughness playing in college. These players are coming from club teams where they were the top players and now they have to prove themselves with other players as good as them or better. They are competing against players with college experience who are 21-22 year olds. This is definitely a big adjustment. Parents/players will soon realize this is no longer club soccer but college soccer where coaches play to win right now! It’s grow up time!

Or you could go D3 actually enjoy your college experience and probably get a better education. Just sayin….

I think outside of the top 40-50 D1 programs, generally the players' physical speed/strength outpaces their skill-level...so while the games do not look "impressive", the speed, physicality and pressure is a step above what most high-level clubs experience. Players who maybe looked very skilled in club end up having to "boot the ball" or make other poor decisions because spaces and passing lanes close faster and the players' skill levels aren't good enough to be able to handle the ball better in tight pressure.

Please retire the phrase ‘just saying’ from your repertoire. Especially if you are hinting to be highly educated.

See now. That 4 syllable word was a much better effort. Good job. Keep up the nice work.

College soccer, especially for women, is garbage. Even the top programs its mostly based on work rate and running. That is just how the college game works.

It’s kind of how the pro game for women works too
