Soccer - An alternative route to the Ivy League

Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, etc… are some of the most prestigious academic institutions not only in the country, but in the world! There are two ways to achieve an acceptance letter to these universities that are so incredibly difficult to get into.
The first way is to study very hard to maintain a perfect GPA and get a perfect score on your SAT's; and be President of at least 4-5 after school clubs/committees.
The second way is to play a sport you love, become very good at it, also study hard, and get an opportunity to get that degree that so many young people long for.
Plain and simple, being good at soccer can open up doors for opportunities that you normally wouldn't have. One of our coaches, Sean Lynch, is studying at Princeton. He's a smart kid, and he's using his talent to set himself up for the rest of his life. Moral of the story, when you're done hitting the books hard, go out in the yard and work on your technique!
