2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

Seriously? This is a foolish decision. She is missing out on a world class education that will benefit her for the rest of her life. The benefits are not the same in professional soccer for female soccer players compared to the men.
It's NOT a foolish decision. The school isn't going anywhere. She can always go back to school.

Maybe - did she make a deal with the school to hold her spot and she'll be back later? I guess it is a smart decision if she does not have any other plans for her future besides playing soccer. The pro teams overseas are not going anywhere either.

I like many parents on this forum believe an education is the path to success & to use soccer as a vehicle to get a "world class education"....believe me, I get it. But There are many factors we don't know that surely shaped her decision. I ask, is your player an outlier/"unicorn" like Pugh?.....probably not, nor is mine. But if she was, she would be presented with a different set of options than Just playing under the lights @ the foothills of Bel Air (though, that sounds pretty sweet).

My point is that there some kids/people with special talent/skills that are better suited to pursue their passion/career, and that may/may not include a college degree.

Sage advice again sir! As usual.

She will be a million dollars ahead by the time that "world class education" would matter.
 
@pulguita and @Swoosh how did $C look. I saw Keidane and Jen K out at Silverlakes earlier in the month trying to get a little early scouting. I would like to hear your take on the team. Swoosh being the resident prognosticator and all has me curious.
 
@gkrent what was the score of the game?

I'm confused. My player was in a scrimmage against the u-18s last night. Anyway the national team lost 3-2 against a combine team put together by klimokova. Fun game to watch. KP is a baller and so is her fellow Stanford commit. If they choose to play those two the way Klimkova does they will be tough!
