Question: How to become a pro football / soccer player?

(Posted by: coffeeagent on 2010-08-06 18:01:24)

I am 14 and I really really want to become a soccer player. I know its hard but I am really dedicated. I wake up everyday at 8 am i exercise or 2 hours then around 1 i do kickboxing for one hour and then I go out and play soccer for another 2 hours. How do you become a soccer player in the United States? I have no problem moving to Europe. (I speak Spanish and English and I can understand Portuguese and I have family in England and Spain) How much is it to join an European Football academy. And can you get like a scholarship to play for free over there? Thanks Can you get a scholarship to a soccer academy in the United States? Because it is to expensive for my family I play for my school and I am really good What are some good colleges for soccer?

Well its very hard to become pro trust me if i knew how i would happy. i love soccer been playing for 8 years now. i think you need to start with trying and join a club team and take it the next level get to premier, then provincial. if you can get to provincial then you can be scouted for universities in the states most likely if your good enough and show them why they should pick you and yes you can get scholarships . but other then playing for the university im not sure how you can become pro. but once you reach the level to play for universities im sure scouts for major league soccer look at people who play for the universities. as for playing in Europe thats even harder then the states because European football is so much different compare to how north americans play. they literally train every day for many hours and its a different style not that i am trying to discourage you but it will be harder to get signed for European football then American soccer. but you have to start somewhere good luck. keep training lots you will never know where you can get to until you try everything.

Sign up for soccer practice at school that would be your first step

Get good grades and keep playing through high school. hopefully you can get a scholarship for college (i would reccomend midwest colleges, they have the best soccer programs) play in college and try out for the US team. if you're good enough and get noticed, programs in the States and maybe even Europe will notice you.
