Player profile

Your Player Profile is a great way to share detailed information about your academic and athletic accomplishments with college coaches. Your Player Profile should be attached to every email you send to college coaches. This will allow you you send concise emails with all the detailed information attached should they like to learn more. Update your Player Profile every six months.

College coaches will skim emails sent to them, so it's important to be short and to the point when communicating with them; they don't have time to read an essay about you. Your email should ONLY include important information: name, grad year, position, GPA, club team name, and what's special about YOU and YOUR TEAM (important accomplishments). This allows college coaches to know if your grades are good enough and you are potentially a good enough player for them to learn more and recruit you.

Your Player Profile allows you to share all you information you can't fit in the body your email, including:

  • Name, high school, graduating year (mention if you are graduating any time other than spring)

  • Personal stats (height and weight)

  • High school soccer experience, team accomplishments, personal awards (athletic, academic)

  • Current club team, recent team accomplishments (you do not need to go back before high school, unless there is something specific from before that period that you think will make a difference)

  • Academic interests (projected major – ensure it is one the college offers)

  • Where and when they can see you play

  • Great references (multiple high level coaches who can vouch for you along with a couple character references)
