What others say about the course

This gives such good information and context to how important work rate, dedication and belief in yourself is in order to be a good soccer player. The information about reaching out to colleges and getting that introduction down was super informative and impressive. Something I wish I had heard while applying to schools. Such a good, well rounded academy lesson from VEO. I hope many people who need to see this do! Also, soccer in America is growing and I loved seeing it!

This is an excellent snap shot of player development. Well done Veo!

This was a fantastic short if you will. Each one of the Cliff I got to go over and watch with my daughter she’s 12 years old. From the point where Whitney Reinhart talked about looking at each training and going as far as she can to looking at each game as it being the last she’ll ever play. it was fantastic then I got to watch the coach talk about the different college perspective. All of them fantastic and encouraging and insight. I really enjoyed the shorts and look forward to teaming up with the one day as soon as I can afford it individually. My club is not able to do it quite yet.
