Paul’s Answer

For the student athletes, who I worked with, I have successfully utilized something called the Athletic Resume and Cover Letter.

It is comparable to the concept of the Job Resume, but instead of listing your job skills and employment elements for a possible future employer, you will instead be listing your athletic abilities, achievements, skills, academics, and various sports highlights for a coach at a future college you wish to attend.

There are many examples of Athletic Resume's posted online, for you to find and follow, as an example.

Once you write a Resume, you should also write the coach of the college, a Cover Letter, telling him about yourself, where you attend high school, and send along an upcoming schedule of your future league sports contests and games.

When you get your resume and cover letter together, I would send the coaches, of the various colleges, you are interested in attending, these two items through regular mail. This will cause them to land right on his desk. Remember, college coaches receive thousands of emails, and sending them a personalized resume and cover letter, can make you stand out from a crowded field of athletes.

They seem to appreciate this approach, because in my past experience, they have always responded in a positive way, and have provided information on the various academic requirements, and information on the athletic requirements and program overview, for their institution. So, the Athletic Resume and Cover Letter, could be a positive way to get their attention.

I would not limit yourself to Division I colleges. Minnesota and the Midwestern region of the United States, has some great Division II, Division III, and NAIA colleges and universities, that are very strong in the sport of soccer and have some amazing academic programs for you to pursue in your future education.

Kennedy’s Answer

All of these responses are excellent. I'd like to stress one crucial aspect: the role of video footage in sports recruitment. It's vital to regularly send updated highlight reels to potential coaches. College coaches are particularly interested in seeing your performance in real matches. The more you can showcase your skills and positive contributions in these videos, the higher your likelihood of being recruited!

Hi Nicolas,
The best way is to join a soccer club and discuss it with the coach and the managers
