This DM came to me from a top NCAA D1 soccer ⚽️ Coach buddy of mine:
“Received yet another email from a dad telling me that it's his daughter's dream to play NCAA D1”
“Some dream if you can't write your own email”
“My biggest no-no, when parents take the lead vs the player”
Good advice as a lot of coaches feel this way.
There’s a difference between helping your kids and doing it for them.
If your player needs help?
Just ask

D1 Athlete vs. D2 Athlete
D1 ATHLETE
⚡ Typically faster and more explosive
🏃 Better ability to cover ground
💪 Usually stronger and more physically developed
🔄 Can perform at a high level repeatedly, not just in flashes
🧠 Faster decision making under pressure
⚔️ Handles higher training and game intensity
📈 More competition for every roster spot
🔥 Athletic weaknesses are exposed quickly
D2 ATHLETE
⚡ Can still be an excellent athlete, but the average athletic ceiling is generally a little lower
🏃 Speed and explosiveness vary more from program to program
💪 Physical development can be more variable
🧠 Strong soccer IQ and technical ability can compensate for athletic differences
📈 Greater variation in player profiles across programs
🔥 Top D2 players can absolutely be D1-caliber athletes

The women have arrived in Sierra Vista for our first ames of the season. August 28th 1pm at Cochise College we kick it all off vs. Northeastern JC
It has been amazing these past two nights to see so many alumni coming back to play against the current squads.

While I was in Florida, I’m on the beach, and it’s like 90+ degrees with 95% humidity. I’m in shorts and my bikini.
I see a Muslim family, not too far from where I was sunbathing.
The kids, especially the boys had been wearing swim shorts and the young girl had one-piece swimsuit on.
The what I assume was the oldest daughter and the mother were completely covered up, with their long-sleeved shirts up to their freaking knuckles!
No cap.
The father had no shirt on with swim shorts as well. But…Those two women had to be dying under all of that crap.
Their eyes, tips of their fingers and their feet were the only things that were exposed. It was horrific.
I just stared and shook my head, because this OPPRESSIVE, radical Islam crap doesn’t belong ANYWHERE here in our America.

How the hell does Monica Lewinsky look better now than she did when she was 20?

I didn't get the criticism at first... then I watched it three times. Now I understand. 👀

COLLEGE SOCCER TRUTH
Players, who don’t pass their fitness test don’t just lose the test… they lose opportunities.
Every coach notices who came back prepared and who didn’t.
Failing the fitness test can mean:
⚽ Starting preseason behind everyone else.
⚽ Less playing time early in the season.
⚽ Less trust from the coaching staff.
⚽ Spending valuable training time trying to catch up instead of improving.
Fitness is one of the few things you can control before preseason starts.
Don’t show up hoping you’re in shape. Show up knowing you are.
