    Yes, this video is long, but it's my full story to where I am now,I made this video for those of you who want to play D1 or any college level, and if you think you aren't good enough, maybe this will inspire to continue forward. Because it's in your hands, and no one can make you feel inferior without your own consent. Like the video if you enjoyed, and subscribe :) if you want hehe

Because i didn’t take soccer serious till my 8th grade year. Thats when i knew i really wanted to chase the dream. Im glad there’s someone like you to lead by example, lets see where my hard work takes me. No seriously though you’re going to get that pro contract.

    Man i have so much respect for you. Ive played football ever since I was born but I hated the last two years of high school because I didnt get into varsity even though I trained almost everyday, it was my end goal to finish high school in varsity. I was friends with the players from the varsity and I totally get the frustration of being told you in your face that you will never make it. Theres not a lot of options of teams to play in Singapore when you become older (im 19 now) except for adult football, the transition was hard and I have not played a single full game for about a whole year, not even 25 minutes and it made me frustrated and unhappy with my football. Even though I train nearly everyday for about 4 years now, im becoming even more frustrated (with lockdown stopping football too). Im really glad to have found your video because it made me even more motivated, great video (sorry for the long comment).

Personally I never played club soccer until my junior year and I was also wondering how I was going to play in college, but I worked hard and got a chance to play D3 at Schreiner University outside of San Antonio. In the end that hard work and passion for the game will take you places!

But I didn’t really have a passion for it anymore, a couple days ago my uncle talked my back into playing after I said it’s been 3 years and he said you don’t forget something you learn you just keep adding, since then I saw this video and I started grinding again, hopefully I can get back in great form soon

    I’m about to be a junior and I play on a silver team in Southern California and I know I can play with a premier team but I haven’t got the opportunity and i feel like it’s never going to come but I want to play D1

    Joe, you should describe your video as "Division I" not Division 1. Div. 1 implies top level professional play while Div. I implies top level college play. Congratulations on your amazing achievement!

    Hello my dude, I just wanted to tell you if you have some feedback for me to become pro, I am 16, a junior, and never played for a team, but for years since I was 10 I’ve been training really hard and going to this field mostly 5 days a week for 3 hours, do you think only playing 1 year of high school, 1 year of club soccer and playing some recreational soccer tournaments can help me join a college team just by playing 1 and a half year of competitive soccer. I also wanted to join my junior year, but since I want to help my family with rent and I have a baby sister and a sister in college, my parents don’t have transportation for me and I need to help them with somethings, so I’m okay for missing junior year, but is it bad If I miss junior year and instead of playing soccer in 11th grade, can I join some soccer training camps and Sunday leagues
