DS informed us that his dream is to play pro soccer. He is a hs junior. We never envisioned our child wanting to go this route. Our goal was to get him to go to a good fit college, graduate, and have a career in his chosen field. I am aware that pro sports require prospects to go to college, but I admit that I have never done research into what is involved in playing pro soccer, let alone any sport. I know that there are no guarantees with pro sports. I will begin to do the research, but I wanted to know what are the experiences of those whose children have pursued professional soccer? He has never played club soccer due to travel commitment. What should he be doing now, or have we missed the mark on this? Is there another route for pro soccer? Thanks to all who respond.
