This is how top players prepare when the margins matter.

This is for players who:
– Compete in ECNL or MLS Next
– Are Class of 2026, 2027, or 2028
– Want to play college soccer and need a real recruiting plan
– Want feedback from a current D1 coach
– Want structure, discipline, and a clear way forward

This is NOT for players who:
✘ Skip emailing college coaches
✘ Don’t train beyond team practices
✘ Expect results without commitment
✘ Treat showcases casually

Who This is For?

If you want to play at the next level, your habits must already reflect it.
