Hey guys, I recently uploaded an ultimate guide to getting recruited to play in college: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJvPk5uAos-crrs

[@osmartfernandez5857]

Coach Javi I’m 13 trying to make it professional what are some tips?

[@davidm4356]

Coach Javi hey coach Javi I just uploaded my soccer video highlights and tell me if I can make it to D1 school

[@MalachiSoccer]

@@osmartfernandez5857 haha I’m also 13(Now)and your prob 16 now, how are you doing now?

[@kap1526]

Most of the talent come from poor families and get overlooked every time that is why our country is super slow at progressing the youth program. Not every family can take off work for the week and take there son to Las Vegas for a tournament where scouts actually show up.

[@user-qd4he8jz9t]

They have show cases all over the country, especially during the summer where the kids have more free time to goto

[@kiturpersival3385]

Not tue

[@Stretchinyb]

@@user-qd4he8jz9t no one has $400+ for camps

[@johnrivers9393]

It’s not about talent poor/middle of the road/rich. It’s about seizing every opportunity that presents itself and also making opportunities with hard work and dedication.

[@thomasstatchen3442]

Best video you've made so far, you should do more analysis like this.

[@WaliFootball]

right!

[@alvameque3330]

Agreeee

[@nathanieladjei7743]

Best video of the year. Really liked the breakdown of the requirements for players and the analysis. Thanks Javi. No exaggeration but This was literally what I needed to elevate my game

[@CoachJavi]

Nathaniel Adjei glad it helped!

[@seang2528]

Coach Javi it is lassies

[@mattslagel4494]

I liked this video. It helped me understand how I need to act and play when I’m on the field and it gave me a good understanding of what scouts look for

[@saiphut811]

I play Central Attacking Mid. On February 3, I was scouted to play for a top division high school team in North Carolina on a full ride scholarship. I hope this will take me somewhere in college but who knows. The lesson is: When you play, you’ll never know who is watching but someone always is watching.

[@tylertin3104]

Sai Phut email them to come watch

[@williamschaub2533]

Female word for lads is "lasses" or "las"

[@NoHaBi02]

William Schaub I thought it would be ladies because it already has lad in it 😂

[@navasgames277]

That’s Scottish

[@jonjobaggins8340]

William Schaub that’s just Scotland lad

[@danieljeffs2002]

Jonjo Baggins No it’s also northern England not just Scotland

[@ATyree-rn6wt]

It’s lads and gals

[@elyse3682]

Thank you so much for this! I'm entering my sophomore year of high school and have played soccer one year when I was 4 for a neighboring city and since 7th grade for my school. I'm a defense but I'm one of those players who has an extremely hard kick so I just clear the ball all the way up the field to my forwards any time I get it. I'll definitely change that now and use the space I have to dribble the ball and pass it when I can. It's my dream, like most athletes to play for a college and these videos are definitely helping me improve my game.

[@estebanmigueltrujillo513]

This is great information not many people understand how Important it is to listen to a coach giving advice to make a player more aware, or even smarter on the field!!

[@gonzalomendez8310]

This video helped me a lot . Loved the way you broke down the process of what coaches look for and see when scouting! Ima use this knowledge!

[@rodrigocruz751]

After watching this video it gave me an idea of more what to do and what not to do in my next games and practices, thanks coach Javi! This really helped a lot hopefully one day I can be in the big leagues

[@jessicaortiz3703]

This video rlly helped me learn more about what I should be doing as a midfielder, and I will definitely be taking these tips into the next practice and game I have! Thank you!

[@medicius4552]

I really enjoyed this video. As a coach, it's great to hear what others are looking for in my players. I can turn around and share the link to this directly when I feel my coaching isn't getting through on the items outside of technique, shooting and passing (communication, attitude and effort, etc). I look forward to seeing more of these for myself too, as I like the analysis of non-professional matches.

[@CoachJavi]

Medicius thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.

[@jessicadamico6809]

I just found this video and this is going to help me continue to improve my game. Thank you for making this to help us understand what coaches look for

[@SaltyNuts-sl2to]

Been three years how’d the dream go

[@ohayogozaimasu187]

Super video coach!! Can you make a video for defensive midfielder?

[@officialperrytheplatypus]

Hey Coach Javi, this video helped me a lot and I would really like if you make more like these! Keep up the good work coach!

[@geraldinedorado3623]

Being a senior in high school and a freshman to be soccer player, this was a Great and simlle video.

[@rallyplasma4627]

I liked that you got very specific about what you look for within each position. I would like to hear more about those things. Thanks!

[@cristiancontreras6945]

Incredibly helpful! I played 2 years at a community college level but I eventually would like to play at my transfer school which is d2, I play outside back and it would be even more helpful if you can talk to me or even make a video on what abilities you would look for in an ob! Thanks, Cristian.

[@AlejandroJLandaetaG9]

Hey man! This was really good! Keep it up!

[@JynxedKnives]

This is by far the best video i enjoyed this walk through

[@dianacioara1179]

Great insight about scouting process, I believe the video is very very helpful for young players to understand what they need to improve at. Thanks a lot

[@andipndy7090]

This really helped me a lot. Thanks!! Subscribed 👍🏽👍🏽

[@osvaldolugo6299]

This is a really good video. I'd like to become a pro soccer player one day and all the stuff you said about what coaches think as they analyze a player helped out a lot. That way now that I know somewhat what coaches think I can improve game to another level, and make myself into a better team player in and out the pitch.

[@tonysanchez6250]

I wish my high school soccer coach would’ve shown us this video and not watch full because most guys did quite get the memo... good video!!!🔥🔥🔥 will definitely recommend to my old coach from 15’ lol

[@TheMajorLeek]

Nice video! Useful information there keep it up.

[@Venatiano]

Just got here today I subbed, this content is really good. Gonna stick around for some studying and training haha

[@beyondthepage9389]

Great breakdown, especially as I agreed with your assessment.

[@looch95]

First video I've seen of yours and thought it was excellent.

[@jeddidloo]

what division 1 college program do you coach for?

[@abrahamlknm]

What do you think is most important: club soccer or high school soccer when you are scouting? I suppose both should be equally important, however there are some small clubs that have good players, but the players are not been seeing or the other way around.

[@CoachJavi]

Vinotinto Real that's a great question. I'll cover my thoughts on the next vlog!

[@danielbolas9575]

Vinotinto Real I completely feel you! like the big clubs where you have to pay 2,000 dollars are getting looked at but the small clubs are never . And the majority of the time the small Clubs have way better players

[@jaredprovost2002]

I’m a year late, but club soccer all day every day. Use high school to get footage for highlights. Club soccer is MUCH better. MOST scouts don’t even go to high school matches.

[@itzwes3289]

Spark1383 Exactly

[@elchedeny9424]

Club soccer is BS lol majority of kids playing really arent that good but since mom and dad pay big 💵 for it, they let it pass.

[@oscargarcia769]

Learned a lot from this video... keep up the good work coach!!! ⚽️

[@danielkillorin9742]

this is great bro so glad i found this channel

[@danfearon1343]

great video...not just for scouting but overall play.

[@AJ-uh2ik]

Love this assessment!

[@WaliFootball]

agreed

[@itzjustjjmg119]

lass and lassie also

[@sergioj489]

Great video! Thank you⚽️🤙🏼 If anything you could've gone more in depth on the three things coaches/scouts look for🤙🏼 But other than that great video⚽️🤙🏼!

[@rungsarit]

thank you for this video it really helped me understand more 1st hand thoughts and wants on what we as players need to work on and show, so thank you again it really helped.

[@GRITSOCCERTRAINING]

I agree this helps me understand how to better prepare my son, if interested check us out in our channel

[@dogan925]

I am a striker from Belgium and i am currently going on tuesday to a try-out in Germany because i got scouted by Aachen and the youth plays in Bundesliga so i am hyped about that!

[@Adrian34]

thanks for the info I'll be sure to incorporate all of your video tips 👍

[@edgarkavistan3553]

this is a great video good to know what I need to work on if I want to get scouted

[@notcarlos9521]

Hey need a LW or LM need to keep playing this amazing sport. Would love to have a tryout.

[@ErickFooty]

Gonna send this vid to my little brother. I'm committed already but this video is really helpful

[@iMadrid11]

I have to agree with Lass/Lasses. Lady/Ladies is a more formal word opposite to Gentlemen.

[@jacobbynum15]

Just found your channel, but you earned my sub. I plan on watching many more

[@CoachJavi]

+Jacob Bynum thanks Jacob!

[@mr.plant.identifier]

i enjoyed the indepth explanation. what do u personally look for in fowards

[@aml1588]

Thank you so much for this video, this helped out very much.

[@Uce_wess]

I don't play futbol but this is educating. 😬

[@willianfagundes2551]

Good job coach!!

[@xomarptxyt909]

thank you so much. You pretty much gave me some help. I now know what my mistakes are.

[@pecoswild]

Hello Coach. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. My daughter is a goal keeper. She's currently playing club and HS soccer. Can you translate how what you are saying will apply to GK's and if they do not, will you comment on that? BTW- these are simply good coaching tips.

[@cf-fq1ul]

That Panera in the beginning looked really good

[@henryhillebrecht9589]

Great video👍🏻👍🏻

[@ajk3680]

could you be my coach/agent in the future? #Mrtoogood

[@nika1115]

Helpful video - thank you.

[@arturosaez4574]

man I wish you were my coach because you really know your stuff

[@maharicortijo2070]

I was a freshman last year and I started every game ,got picked for the all star game , scored 5 goals as a a freshman winger

[@caycecaum2896]

I play center D. I did corner kicks and goal kicks. This was my first year, and I was named a captain. Do you think you could just do a video about the center defense position and the defense line ?

[@claudiac4145]

great insight!

[@insidecollegesoccer9964]

great video

[@aczellargaespada1462]

Pretty cool video coach.

[@lee-annbenjamin1281]

Counter attacking is my favourite gameplan💪

[@eternalpollo7930]

It would be nice for there to be some scouting here where I am we really don't have such chances but great video

[@MoeMoneyMakemoneywithMoe]

thank you for the info

[@justgregg2538]

Hey Javi, I just wanted to ask about scouting and becoming a scout. Im really passionate about scouting players and analysing talent in this beutiful game but Im not sure where to start, any help or advice about becoming a scout would be really helpful 🙂

[@chikicat9705]

Great vid

[@chriswraback7323]

Solid analysis and definitely helps a lot but what extra advice would you give for a goalkeeper? What do D1 coaches look for in keepers compared to field players?

[@CoachJavi]

Chris Wraback in my experience, we look for confidence and communication mostly. A goalkeeper should be the loudest on the field always directing the play in front of them. They must make smart decisions when coming out or staying in goal and be able to stick with those decisions. A goalkeeper should not second guess their decisions. Also, making sure they do well when called upon. If the team is dominating possession and there are only a few situations in which they are needed, they must come up big and make the saves. Great question!

[@tajayreynolds6210]

Yeah this is very good to know

[@mattbell2109]

Great Video

[@hound9496]

Very cool video I would like to know how bout the goalkeeper what do you look for in a goalkeeper

[@Stephmunafo]

do you watch more high school games or club games

[@danielchiefmweemba9244]

nice video love it

[@justinappler2685]

I'm a goalkeeper who's going into 12th grade, i never got into club sadly because i needed a job at a young age to help support my mom and me. My question is if you have any advice for me in the next few months to prepare for these possible scouts and pickups from college, i would like to be on the top of my game for this season. Thank you.

[@daviddiaz9551]

Lads and Lasses... It's Scottish however we use it lots in Britain!

[@daviddiaz9551]

Or gyallies lol

[@diegocrisostomo3792]

Boss, is it the same concept from playing at d1 soccer and getting scouted for the pros?

[@mr.plant.identifier]

awesome vid

[@thomaskelly212]

hi javi just had a question do you play for a professional football team or just a lower leauge team

[@josuehernandez8881]

this really helps because now i lnow wat i can improve on more and also i dont know if that was mundelein high school but if it is i go there

[@CoachJavi]

Josue Hernandez yes it is Josue! I'll actually be there tomorrow morning running the camp and having a Q and A at the end!

[@josuehernandez8881]

Coach Javi that's good news coach javi i'll be forward to meeting you tomorrow

[@Willperez1974]

awesome video

[@jnnorelien9267]

I needed that

[@fifaidiots5398]

Go to Rockwall,Texas and scout Seth Choi he’s my friend

[@javiermelesio6519]

Hey coach Javi, would you scout a player who has gotten injured in one of his or her high school soccer game and was out for a whole season but will be able to play next year’s season?

[@itzjustjjmg119]

female word for lads is ladies

[@fortnitecrazy3978]

[@michaelxenos5519]

And if it's singular you can say Lass

[@scottredshaw5657]

lasses*

[@tinotv7766]

you can say birds too 'fit birds'

[@joshhenderson4932]

what college do you coach for? also in one of the scenarios you said don't clear the ball out of the back if you have time. it makes sense but for my high school team we aren't very skilled many are either first or second year players besides a couple of players like me, my brother and 3 others. I think playing out of the back is great but what if your team mates aren't skilled enough to do that? Also what should I do if I'm out in a position I shouldn't be in. Last year I was put at centre back and I'm only 5 8" 140lbs I'm also quiet slow so I can't run down players. I normally play outside mid or centre mid but centre back I couldn't understand why. I figured it may be because I was one of the more experienced players on the team. btw we only one 2 games of our 20 or so games. another thing is me and my brother we are twins and are going to be seniors our high school team is not good and we are on our fourth coach out of four years. the new coach doesn't seem invested in the team as we only are going to have 17 practices before our first game. so I'm thinking the season may be bad again. we are trying to get to college to play soccer but I don't think any coaches would come and watch our games as our team isn't good. we also play club but are playing in the lowest division because we followed our coach to a different club and he was given the bottom level coaching job. what ways could we use to get noticed by coaches. I know you should go to camps to get your name out their. our club coach said he is taking us to the Akron college teams camp next year. I don't think I'm good enough personally. also should we send videos of ourselves to colleges? sorry for the long comment. and I have just subscribed.

[@CoachJavi]

josh henderson In my opinion it is better to fail many times and eventually be successful than to take the easy way out. You might not be able to do it now, but with practice and repetition you might be able to do it in the future! The circumstances sound tough, but good players look for ways to succeed. Keep working hard and doing extra, the best players will find ways to excel. Don't settle for bad coaching, ask a lot of questions, and take control of your development. Hope that helps at least a little.

[@joshhenderson4932]

Coach Javi thanks

[@JoseLopez-hc6ys]

What else do you look into a winger/striker?

[@davidrobb6859]

What camera and editing program do you use? I️ am looking to capture game film and slice I️t up.

[@whatyougot2108]

Rep from Stoke right here

[@marvinsalgado5210]

This looked like mundelein high school in Illinois. Was on the team when Waukegan played there.

[@lionhead122]

LMAO the girl at 2:17 just fell over what

[@miguelguevara7833]

Anything your looking for or what other coaches are lookin for

[@343Talent]

nice jacket coach

[@CoachJavi]

+David Koloko haha thanks boss

[@kiwi-mf2do]

Could you put a marker on the players you are talking about when you re talking about games.

[@osvaldolugo6299]

also I just subscribed to your channel and I'ma check out your videos. But when it comes to the body like if someone is slim, or big or what not, what do you think about that? What type of physical appearance looks best for you? But I'm guessing it also depends on the players position to doesn't it?

[@CoachJavi]

+Osvaldo Lugo it depends, but in reality it doesn't matter. The most important part is how well they play that position. Size and body doesn't have as much of an effect if the player knows how to read and play the game.

[@osvaldolugo6299]

Coach Javi oh true that makes sense. Thanks for answering back thoe and you watching our 🇲🇽 right now?🙌

[@CoachJavi]

Osvaldo Lugo of course I am. 👍👊

[@osvaldolugo6299]

Coach Javi hey just a suggestion you should consider on making a analysis video on a Mexico game, or any team really. You know what I mean? Like what they do on Fox Sports and ESPN and stuff but in your own way

[@CoachJavi]

Good suggestion! I'll keep that in mind!

[@frankjdm4636]

Do you ever come across any Santiago players from the movie Goal and how come theres hardly good players like in Europe here in the U.S. or Mexico

[@joserosas7975]

Even though I have played HS and college soccer ,trying to coach is a pretty damm difficult. Since I only have about like 6 months coaching, one of my biggest questions is about formation. This is for high school girls soccer JV. I really think a flat 4 is better to teach than playing a sweeper/stopper 4 diamond formation. One big reason being that sweeper/stopper usually results 2 defenders going in for one attacker leaving another player open. Thus, I think working on speed, shifting, communication, and good defending skills ( jokey sliding body) in a flat 4 is the better option. Is it the correct move would it be better for the girls to learn the flat 4 and guide them away from the sweeper/stopper formation they have been doing since rec and junior high?

[@toluwanimiariyo6896]

Jose Rosas just use a flat 4 with a defensive midfielder

[@WaliFootball]

Great Analysis... like if you agree

[@xperplexer611]

Thx for the help

[@tinylady]

every one name your club soccer team growing up. i played for the sasl lightning. classic A/premier divisions. in North Carolina

[@Gito84]

How do you become a scout? I've been interested in this for a long time

[@fortnitecrazy3978]

you can use lad male or female if you want 👍
