 Yeah, we're on YouTube! Yay! Go say hi to Mitri. Hi, hi. Alright, come on, come on, come on. Here's one of the stars. And we're on YouTube. Come on, come on. Yeah, you want to say hi? Rome, come here, I'm going to give you a shout out. Can you pop it up here? No, I'll pull it up. Wait, sorry guys, I got a sprint. Trying to get this up. Coach Nick is a goalkeeper coach. And he does goalkeeper videos. So if you're a goalkeeper, if you want to watch some goalkeeper training sessions, go follow him. Rome, the fans are waiting here. He's having an absolute nightmare, my friend. It's not loading. There's only four subscribers. We need more than that. Alright, let's see Rome Goalkeeper Academy. Nick Roman. He's only got four subscribers. He needs five to go public. So go follow him, my friend. He needs five to seven so I could feel validated. Quick disclaimer. If you don't want to hear me talking for a few minutes, don't watch this video, mates. Coach Habi is about to drop some knowledge on you. First of all, when I started this channel, I did not think we would be where we are right now. I didn't think we were going to be anywhere near it. I wake up every day very grateful that I can share my ideas with all of you guys. And that you guys can take those ideas, whether it's your training sessions or just to your daily routine. This is going to be the last video that is not a training session before we go back to work, my friends. Before we go back to the university and start training with a college team. So I'm excited because when I go back, I can share different perspectives of all the other Division 1 coaches that I coach with. I can show you the daily life of a college coach and what I go through on a daily basis is training sessions, matches, match preparation, film sessions, all that stuff. I'm going to try and do my best to share it all with you guys. As you can tell by the title of this video, one of the biggest questions I get asked nowadays is how do I get scouted? I already did a video on what I'm looking for when I scout players, but the big question or the million-dollar question is how do I actually get a coach to go out there to watch me so that I can get recruited to play in college? So think about it this way. You are a product and the coach is the consumer or the buyer. You have to advertise yourself in a way that makes you much more appealing than everyone else out there on the market. By that I mean you have to go and put in the work to put yourself out there to make yourself attractive so that coaches want you. First of all, you have to play at a good level. You have to have to be a good player to play at a good level. You have to be one of these coaches and annoy them basically as much as you possibly can. What I mean by this is if you are looking to go play in college go and look at every university you possibly can go and look at which ones stand out to you. On the athletics page you will see the emails of all the coaches. You go in there and you email every single coach that you might be interested in playing for and you advertise yourself to these coaches. Now how do you do that? There's a few different steps that I'm looking for. First of all, highlight video. Get as much highlight video as you possibly can. You can include training sessions you can include individual training but ultimately we do want to see you in a match. So try and get a highlight video of as many games as you can all your best plays and make it attractive. Don't put the times you mess up don't put the boring in between stuff put every single time that you were involved that you made a difference that you think might appeal to a coach. After you've made your highlight video make a resume. Just as if you're applying for a job you're going to need to make a soccer resume of your playing career and you're going to email this along with your highlight video to the coaches. So what are some things that you might want to put in your resume? Put all of your soccer experience from when you started playing soccer up until your last soccer team that you played with you put all your achievements every single award that you've won with these teams and on top of that you put your individual achievements as well how many goals you scored that you played for certain teams and very importantly almost more important is you put your academics where you go to high school what your GPA is what your ACT is the reason I say academics might be more important is because if you have a very good GPA and your academics are good your ACT is good you can qualify for a lot of academic scholarship personal story Coach Javi went through all four years of my playing career fully on an academic scholarship from their athletics scholarship which means they absolutely love me because they don't have to waste a single dollar on me throughout the four years all that money that I saved them they could use for another player so if your academics are good most coaches won't think about it twice if you're a good player and you don't cost them a penny you're getting recruited into that program no problem if your academics are bad even if you're a good player a coach might have to say you made a player of the same ability who I don't have to pay for boom, who are they going to choose the player with better academics so that is crucial so academics are important done your highlight video made a soccer resume when you write an email to these coaches please, please do not write up a single template and send it to all the coaches what I mean by this is do not write hello coach blank I am interested in playing for your university because you have a good soccer program I would appreciate it if you watched my highlight video the reason I say don't do that is because coaches can tell when you made one template for a bunch of different universities so they know that you're not exactly interested in their university you're just trying to get your name out there to as many people as possible here is a better example of an email that you can write to a university dear coach Javi I am interested in playing for coach Javi University because I noticed that you're graduating forwards and I'm a center forward so I think I can help you in that area I also noticed that your record was 16 and 4 and you made a deep run in the post season conference tournament I believe that I can help improve that record with my abilities and I can do my part to help you get an even further run and possibly make it to the national championship next year I also noticed that you offer physical education as one of your majors that I would love to pursue I like that it's a small town it gives you a community feel and the class sizes are small as well I feel that I would be a very very good fit for your program I am currently playing in the state tournament attached is also the schedule for my high school season or for my club team I would love if you could go watch a match that is a very good email because as a coach I know that you went in there you looked at my university's page you did your research and you are genuinely looking for my university that's an example of a good email now you don't just email them once if they do not reply you email them again and you email them again and you keep showing your interest until I as a coach decide alright I am interested in this person they are obviously very interested in the program I am going to make an effort to go out there and to go watch them play in a live match I get a lot of questions and a lot of messages saying hey coach who do you scout for can you come watch me play it does not work like that guys I come and watch random people play I am a scout for my university and my university only I go and watch players that I feel will be a good fit for our program be very professional put in the work email these coaches with your highlight video your resume your club schedule or your high school schedule and put yourself out there to as many people as you possibly can on top of that attend as many ID camps as you can as many college showcases as many tryouts so that in the end you have a lot of coaches talking about you and then from there you might have a lot more doors opening up so those are my thoughts on getting scouted last order of business this channel again has been growing tremendously and I am grateful for it so I want to be able to give back in the future I just want to share some thoughts that I have about the channel and I want to see your responses so feel free to comment down below what you think after my college season is over potentially in the winter or in the coming summer I would like to do a camp or do a variety of camps so
