To be a professional soccer player, should you play in college?
Playing soccer in college is a great way to prepare for a professional career in the sport. College teams provide access to coaching staff, competition with top players, and an opportunity to build skill and strength. College soccer also offers an academic setting that can provide the student-athlete with a degree. However, it is not necessary to play in college in order to become a professional soccer player. Those who choose to focus on their club teams can gain the same experience and skill building as those playing in college. Ultimately, the decision to play in college comes down to the individual's goals and ambition to pursue a professional career.
