Every year 60 players are invited to the MLS combine. Just 60 out of 40,000 college footballers. For those of you who are outside the top 60, what happens next? What happens after you graduate? What happens when you have zero connections and no viable path to becoming a professional? Nobody likes to talk about this subject so let’s set the record straight! This is everything you need to know about becoming a professional after college!

​@@louisnahon5117 Already in France, the system of league is very structured, that it is for young but too for pro. We have no 36 academy league as you (it's exemple) but we are structured for several divisions, by age (U18-U17-U16-U15) and then, in the divisions we have other division structured next th ranking for nation, region or district . We have not system of draft, so in France for become pro, 2 option : Come in a center of formation in professionnal club (big luck to become pro if you work hard) but is hard for enter, drum up the center or be repered for scout. In 2 case, you must be a good player and realize try after. Or the other option is play in district or region divisions and repered for a scout to a professionnal club, without drum up (it's rare and you must be a very good player for realize a try) but the clubs are very present in region of Paris and often happens there. Sorry for my english and this is a general explication, more detailed in real.

@@louisnahon5117 Le plus connu en France. On est d'accord, au usa trop compliqué et trop de ligues jeunes et même pro, il manque un système de relégation entre la MLS et l'USL Championship par exemple. Mais déja une bonne chose que les ligues inutiles comme la NASL ou NPSL soit moins importante, cela permet de structurer le soccer américain. Le système français est meilleur qu'au Etats-Unis mais ce n'est pas facile de signer pro pour autant car le niveau est vraiment élevé et il y a de la concurrence. Pour un club non professionnel, il y a juste une licence de football a payer et parfois des tests si le club est connu.

Take any chance you can get to go to Europe. Just join a club, no matter how far down the ranks or what team (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc). Once you’re in Europe its simply about working your way up the ranks. And trust me, if you’re good enough and improve, it will be easy to move up the ranks. Much more easy to move up the ranks than in the US

@@SethMtv Everything is relative, so you're comparing to....? In a vacuum, I'd say it just isn't true. How is it the Premier League is a rotation of about 40 teams, every year having a promoted side or two even going back down again? That doesn't sound like each league can be clumped together as having anywhere near the same type of quality as another. And getting paid on average $1,000 a week in league 2? They're not putting their whole lives into football for that. Maybe you're confusing high quality with high entertainment or just listening to something you've heard someone else say, because you're saying the national league is high quality, with secondary, often full-time, jobs on the side to support themselves? Have you seen the Faroe Islands, Cyprus, San Marino... squads and how that works out for them?

Technically speaking at least the young footballers in the US are getting an opportunity to play and study at the same time. If it never works out, the education they received can be used in work related field, unlike the UK where most academy players that get released from professional clubs, simply have to redo their education or get a full time job.

Central America isn’t the greatest either. For example Mexico...they’ve done a good job of wasting their u17’s and u20’s national team pools...same squads that win CONCAF gold cup’s and even the u17 World Cup year after year. A lot of Liga MX teams often times buy talented in their prime players which makes it difficult for some of these youth players to break into the first team after signing their pro contract. After a long stint of no playing time, they’re thrown around different clubs year after year on loan by squads that don’t utilize that player by their strengths until they find a permanent home and become an average player at very best and taking the spot of a future star and thus the cycle repeats. If you’re given an opportunity for a trial/join a club in Europe (as long as the senior team is a licensed pro club) take it and try to climb the ladder. Good luck brother

It is college not Barcelona Academy. As the NCAA advertisement goes most of these student athletes will go pro in something other than athletics. I got out of college in the early 80s when there was no league. I loved soccer so I played on semi pro teams and anywhere else I could find. But I programmed computers during the day. That is life. I think I would have progressed more in college if I did not have to take tests and write papers. If you are really that good at soccer you should go overseas.

@vitor 93 I have been out of soccer for years. I taught tennis after soccer. In the USA the best players are on club and academy teams and that cost parents a lot of money. It makes soccer like tennis. For example, in my state (NJ) if you listed the top 20 high schools in tennis all of the towns would be wealthy. The top 5 extremely wealthy. They call it pay to play, which leaves out the less affluent. You do not see kids playing pick up soccer in my area. They play pick up basketball, football. or baseball, even if their principal sport is soccer. Last summer, before Covid, I saw a young kid taking shots on goal. I passed around with him a bit and told him if he really wanted to get good at soccer, find 5 or 7 more kids and play 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 in a short field game with a cone as a goal. His reply -> where will I find 5 or 7 kids to play soccer in this town? This was the way it was for me 40 years earlier. Even if a kid has a load of talent he will not develop here enough to compete with Brazil and Europe. Where do you live in Brazil? I hear Covid is getting bad there. Really bad in NJ/NYC.

Good video. As someone who does social media for an NPSL team this is very true about going pro: it’s really who you know and the connections you have. I’ve seen good players on our team who should be at the next level and average players who gone aboard and I’m like how in the hell do you go to Germany. Funny enough our GK and defender played for FCA Darmstadt (as seen in the window behind you lol) and I thought the GK was wack but perspective is different for everyone. Another player went to LVL because he knew Eric Wynalda and I thought the player was somewhat decent. Point is it is who you know, connections/networking for those of you who aren’t privileged with parents with a lot of money.

College isn't the best path to pro, but the MLS draft should only be 1 round at this stage. USL Championship should have a second round after that. Playing with a USL 1 /NISA team and working part time is a option but bellow that you're not likely to stay pro, but get yourself a real job with your college education and pay part time for a local team. Between USL 2, NPSL and UPSL there are so many trams you can play for.

Yup in Europe they are singing 6 8 12 yr old to long term contracts . Best way to do it if your under 18 is to go to your local FIFA Association in your country or province ( FIFA IS International they have corporate buildings in each FIFA country listed . Find your best local team and just play your best football that your name hits the papers and you get notice by word of mouth. Only if your under 18. Connections will come naturally if your talent is Worthy. Eventually you’ll end up on a team like TFC who without a college degree will ask you to come fly out for a try out and again depending on your talents and hard work you will make it . If you are older than 21 and trying to make it then you will have until Age 24 too see if you have a chance for a last trail Somewhere in your local team through the FIFA Association that has its Leagues like 3rd division Football and work up from the bottom to 1st division . This is a miracle and the only person who has ever done it is Jamie. Vardy

Playing in the NAIA is also going to hurt your chances significantly. D2/NAIA guys do go pro but it is extremely rare. For them to have a profitable pro career to "live as a king" is almost unheard of. I think the D2 guy that made it the furthest would likely be wondoloski for san jose.

A lot of diversity and different talent exists in the streets within the U.S but sadly many don’t make it because college is expensive. Also even with the clubs and academies that are available still takes money which most don’t have. However, some Mexican/American players actually go to the reserve leagues in Mexico to try to pursue a career their and a lot of teams located in Second division have a lot of double nationality players from both the U.S and Mexico.

Send ur kids now in Europe just to see if they have the level, beside the best Americans young players I dnt see Americans competing with our european players. There is like a universe in term of gap Come in Paris and try some club like Paris FC, Boulogne Billancourt (ACBB), PSG formation center, you need to see that mini documentary on KZfaq about that American who plays in Ajax formation center his family moved just for him in Holland Even for a good player like him mentally it’s hard

I’m a college freshman. I really resonated with the subpar player, as I didn’t have a luxurious high school experience and I’m not at the one college that scouted me due to lack of funds. Instead, I don’t even have a roster spot for the college attend now so I’m training for a spot next year by myself. Do you have any advice or training tips to help me improve my game to get noticed?

How old are bro and how passionate are you about football? Are u mentally strong? Do u want to have a career? Stay in USA? A average American player if he is not pure garbage can try a third division club here in France or why not espérance of Tunis in Tunisia. Mostly it’s Brazilians but why not Americans ... but even in Africa u must be a really good player the level is high

It's kind of weird how top teams in the US seems to spend so little on scouting or do I have the wrong impression here? I played for the local team here in Belgium as a 11 year old and a guy from the first division asked me to come and train with them. Even got "transport" money from them. Wasn't mean as them paying me, it's just a way to make sure that if they found a kid from a poor family they wouldn't refuse because they had to pay for transportation.

Bro I swear every other place in the world is way better and sometimes easier to get a contract, like in Europe you don’t have to go to college soccer, and some people just get scouted like salah he got scouted in Egypt, they have academy for kids, and youth clubs, and players like ansu fati from barca he is only sixteen and played over 100 minutes in the main team with messi. And also there are really good players out there that don’t have any contacts, and can’t contact anybody, maybe they don’t know how to tryout, or can afford it, but they are so good they can be a pro.

If the European teams are actively scouting in North America. Your system seems a little confusing and I think this is telling as the best players don’t seem to be coming through but we know there are some fantastic players floating around in the system. The USL should be picking up the players and developing them as the talent is clearly there then selling them on to the MLS or the MLS should be developing better scouting systems.
