Becoming a professional soccer player \u2013 who wouldn’t want that? It’s the dream of almost every boy or girl when they start playing soccer. Playing at Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabeu, or Old Trafford, alongside or against your idols. However, professional soccer is only attainable for a small number of players, and in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium, you often have to make significant sacrifices, such as putting your education on hold or even dropping out of school entirely.<\/p>\n\n
In America, they have the perfect solution for this: college soccer. Here, you play soccer at a high level while also studying; you play and study for the university. This creates an optimal combination. You train like a professional: at least five times a week, both on the field and in the gym. During the season, you even play two matches a week and travel to away games by team bus or sometimes even by plane. There is a full-time staff dedicated to building the best team in America and helping the players develop optimally. In short, you are thoroughly prepared to become a professional soccer player while also being well-guided towards a career outside of soccer through your studies.<\/p>\n\n
