scouting

in the world of soccer at least here in sanjose scouts almost never go see teams unless they know a player or players are college level many ways to get scouts to look at you and how im trying to get scouted are join a top 10 team in your state. but aside from that higschools do somtimes get scouted and getting to know them helps alot becuase they now know who you are. there are college camps where they train you but also look to see if they want you on their team which is a very good way to get loked at. another way to get looked at by college scouts is show case tournements where. Building up a reputation is all a team based thing so the best the team can be the better you will be and therfore more scouting! relationships are key becuase you dont know who talks to who and in the world of soccer is all connected burning bridges doesnt help credit torward your name. laslty some would say that highschool is not how to get scouted but people do read the news paper and getting first all around team does help repution no matter how bad the team around you is standing out is important.

  1. Dude, I never even thought about how one pursues a career in sports. Like, I just thought you're good and people notice and then fame and fortune follow. But quite clearly there's much more to it than that. Interesting...
