I appreciate this video bro. This is exactly what I asked for. God bless you in your journey man, because you are a role model that has helped me grow as a person and a player.

[@charlesq1903]

Do you have an email? I gave up on my dream of playing d1 soccer almost 2 yrs ago due to several circumstances but this video is making me think about trying again. Would be dope to talk more about the steps u took to get to the next level

Great Story Bro! excited for our final senior season, we need that chip! You know it’s stories like ours that inspire people to keep pushing for our dreams JD.

[@JodabeniTV]

Yes sir! This is our time for sure!

[@seth4839]

Thank you bro. My family doesn’t believe I can make it to the next level past high school. I train hard, but lately I have been doubting myself seeing kids growing up on professional club teams. You are a huge inspiration to me, I have always believed that with dedication and hard work anything can be yours. 🙏🏽🖤

The fact this dude literally switches positions up literally every season with no knowledge of them speaks to his athleticism what a geez

Bro your insane for somebody who started playing as a sophomore, congrats bro

Me watching this just gave me hope to play soccer D1 even though I just joined soccer my sophomore year. You are such an inspiration, Thank you ❤️🙏🏾

[@therealmuffinseller9686]

yeah!

[@arturotrujillo841]

I Want to go to Utrgv, im going to start my senior year at high school. My dream is became a professional soccer player since I Was a little kid. And go to that collage and start to play for UTRGV its a great opportunity to make my dream true... You aré an inspiration for me. I wish i could play one day as professional. Thanks for your videos....

[@JodabeniTV]

It’s 100% possible ! And thank you Arturo.

[@GRITSOCCERTRAINING]

Arturo Trujillo, keep on grinding it will pay off, I created a soccer channel where I am training my 13 year old son and trying to help youth players develop and improve, check it out and show some support, thanks in advance

[@skyhigh3511]

Bro this made me feel so much relieve and good humor I’m just 5 mins in the video.

[@djames442]

Thank you for this video. I just sent it to my 13 year-old son who doubts his ability. He is a good player but holds back. Keep up the good work and videos.

[@JodabeniTV]

Thanks Darryl, yes he has so much time and perfect time to grow above the rest !

[@mogarba1463]

Hoping to walk on at Ohio State, wish me luck 🙏🏿

[@JoeyBlazee]

Yeah same but for a different college , make sure you work harder then the players already on the team!

[@aiudfhilaudhljkadfhjldfs9472]

Duded went from community collage to D1. Thats what you call persistance and harde work.

[@osbaldogabino69]

Your grind, mentality and consistency is what got you where you are bro. No doubt you’ll get that pro contract, i am glad i ran across this video. This gives me so much more hope. Because i didn’t take soccer serious till my 8th grade year. Thats when i knew i really wanted to chase the dream. Im glad there’s someone like you to lead by example, lets see where my hard work takes me. No seriously though you’re going to get that pro contract.

[@Brebee08]

Thanks so much for sharing. I watched three entire video! Very encouraging as a parent. My son is 14 and is a freshman in high school. He has been a top player in club teams and even in varsity as a freshman. We are starting the process and looking to figure this out as I’m a single mom and my son really has a passion for soccer. Really good content and I pray you keep achieving your goals!

[@abulchowdhury5064]

I’m having similar story like you. I started wanting to be pro from 10th grade even though I been playing since 7th grade. Now I play at a D3 junior college named Monroe college (D1&D3)to me I think it is one of the best D3 college. Hopefully I will have a great sophomore season and get into a D1school.

[@JodabeniTV]

You got this!

[@JoshNewlinPerformance]

What a story man, this is so inspiring🙌🏼 I love hearing other players stories, and how they overcome their obstacles. Personally I never played club soccer until my junior year and I was also wondering how I was going to play in college, but I worked hard and got a chance to play D3 at Schreiner University outside of San Antonio. In the end that hard work and passion for the game will take you places!

[@JodabeniTV]

I love to hear that Josh!

[@rockyapelogun927]

@JodabeniTV I stopped playing soccer in 8th grade because I don’t really have passion for it anymore, I wa supposed to go into high school, as a starter but I decided to stop playing and started playing basketball. But I didn’t really have a passion for it anymore, a couple days ago my uncle talked my back into playing after I said it’s been 3 years and he said you don’t forget something you learn you just keep adding, since then I saw this video and I started grinding again, hopefully I can get back in great form soon

[@kevMP]

[@laurentbrutsch-430a2]

Man i have so much respect for you. Ive played football ever since I was born but I hated the last two years of high school because I didnt get into varsity even though I trained almost everyday, it was my end goal to finish high school in varsity. I was friends with the players from the varsity and I totally get the frustration of being told you in your face that you will never make it. Theres not a lot of options of teams to play in Singapore when you become older (im 19 now) except for adult football, the transition was hard and I have not played a single full game for about a whole year, not even 25 minutes and it made me frustrated and unhappy with my football. Even though I train nearly everyday for about 4 years now, im becoming even more frustrated (with lockdown stopping football too). Im really glad to have found your video because it made me even more motivated, great video (sorry for the long comment).

[@JodabeniTV]

19 years old? Youve got plenty of time. I graduated at 19, so at that point I had been playing for only 3 years.

[@laurentbrutsch-430a2]

Just what I needed to push myself more to play for college. I’d be a walk on as well. And just like you I never played on a team nor have any experience. Thank you, so inspiring🙏💕

Hi Jodabeni, thanks for your video, very motivating and inspiring. There’s so many videos out saying that if you don’t play DP you can’t play college, so your path is inspiring. When you wrote teams/coaches what did you specifically say? Did you have to provide your full soccer “resume”? Any tips on how to contact teams? Thx

This why European football will always be better why are they saying if your not fit they won’t look at you anyone can get fit Buh not everyone can be technical etc some good players cuda prob being cut simply because of that . trials over here there are no running it’s all about ball mastery etc then if you have that you will get fit with the team obviously attitude as well but yeah great story man love your attitude you always believe in yourself and never waited for opportunities to come to you , you went out and got them you went out and dm teams so you deserve it g and stay hungry 😋
