My son, if he goes into that path, I'm gonna have to understand that, yeah, I might create him a social media page, um, and add some highlights, all that stuff, but I'm gonna have to make some phone calls.

I'm gonna have to do some, uh, you know, emails.

I probably would, you know, monitor his emails, but tell him, "Hey, you're a big boy.

This is college.

You're gonna have to do all this." Um, but a lot of these players believe that, "Hey, I've made a youth national team," or, "I've played ECNL or MLS Next.

I've made it." And they walk around as if they've made it, and that's my concern.
