Look, we need to clear something up about summer camps and clinics. Too many of you are falling into a trap that wastes your time and your money. Here is the reality of how college recruiting actually works: - Camps are not for discovery. Coaches are not sitting in chairs hoping a hidden gem falls into their laps. They use camps to evaluate players they have already identified on film or live. - The "List" dictates everything. A coach walks into a camp with a list of 5 to 10 players they specifically need to watch. If you aren’t on that list before you attend then you are pretty much wasting your time trying to get "looked at." It just does not work that way. If you want to actually get a return on your investment, here is how you handle it: 1. Secure the call first. Do not attend a camp without reaching out to the schools attending first. Send a short message asking if you can jump on a brief call before you register. You have to get on their radar and onto their list before you get to the gate. 2. Use the updated resources. We just updated our master list of camps and clinics in the Classroom. We add new ones to this list every single week. https://www.skool.com/college-soccer-recruiting-hub-7734/classroom/f10bdf39?md=c7137199c2714fdcaa1d2269ba6243b0 Review the list in the Classroom, pick your targets, and start doing the outreach now. Stop relying on hope as a strategy and do the work upfront. Cheers. Steve

⚙️ We built an algorithm to weigh your club pedigree against verified accolades. It gives you a true player ranking metric. Here is exactly what happens when you get ranked: 📋 A dedicated profile page built around your game and Highlight tape. 📬 Your ranking and profile distributed directly to our network of D1, D2, and D3 coaches every week! 📍 If you are a 2028 prospect targeting a Northeast program, this puts you on the right radars. 📈 Proof that the system works: Our #1 ranked 2028 Defender and #1 ranked Midfielder just committed to D1 powerhouses 💪 To find out how to be ranked simply comment "Rank me" in the Comments section below and I will send you a DM with the next steps.

Huge Congrats to CSN Client @jadejones_17 on committing to play D1 at Yale University! 🎉 Jade is now the 12th 2028 player to commit to a Northeast D1 school. Huge moment for Jade and her family—you should be so proud. She didn’t get this done by sitting back and hoping to get lucky. She put her head down, executed the system, and communicated like a pro! #CSNSuccess #NCAASoccer

in just the past few hours, Holy Cross and BU have all locked down new 2028 verbal commitments. The timeline has accelerated. If you are tracking this process based on what your neighbor’s kid did two years ago, you are already behind. If your phone didn't ring this week, your process isn't over. It just means you are part of the 95% who have to grind. Stop waiting to be discovered and start executing a strategy that forces coaches to look at your film. Your Next Move: Stop guessing what to do next. DM me to set up a free 15-minute Zoom call and we’ll talk through your next steps. Steve #Classof2028

🚨 The NCAA just unanimously approved a new 5-year eligibility model. If you are a 2027 or 2028 high school recruit, you need to wake up. ⏰ This is going to devastate your recruiting landscape. Here is the reality of what this means: 🛑 The Roster Bottleneck: College coaches now get 5 guaranteed seasons of competition out of their current players. Why take a chance on an unproven 17-year-old when they can keep a 21-year-old veteran for an extra year? 📉 The End of Development Years: The safety net of the "redshirt year" to go get bigger and stronger is gone. If you aren't physically and mentally ready to step on the pitch and compete against 23-year-old men/women on Day 1, coaches won't take you. ❌ 💰 Shrinking Freshman Classes: Rosters aren't getting bigger, but players are staying longer. Available money and spots for incoming freshmen just shrank overnight. Coaches don't want projects anymore. They want finished products. 🛠️ The standard just went up!! If you need help navigating the process, DM me the word 'PLAN' and I'll send over a quick application to see if it makes sense to jump on a 15-minute Zoom. #NCAASoccer
