The Premier Platform for Serious Soccer Families

Train Like a Pro.
Get Recruited Like One.

A mentorship-first platform that combines athletic development with college placement — built for serious soccer players ages 13–18.

Published Speed & Fitness Benchmarks
Peer-Reviewed Mental Performance Tools
1,200+ College Programs
Validated Mental-Performance Tools
CSAI-2R (Anxiety) MTQ-48 (Mental Toughness) Brunel Mood Scale Hooper Index (Wellness)

One of the few platforms that pairs peer-reviewed psychometric assessments with film, fitness, and college placement. Your child is an athlete and a 16-year-old under pressure — we coach both.

The Old Way Doesn't Work

Most families are paying for pieces of the puzzle — and none of it fits together.

"Paying $300/month for a recruiting consultant who doesn't train your athlete"

"Using a training app that has no idea what college coaches actually test for at tryouts"

"Working with a private coach who doesn't understand the recruiting process at all"

There's a better way.

Everything Your Athlete Needs.
One Platform.

Stop juggling multiple subscriptions. GSP is the complete system — from the first sprint drill to signing day.

Performance Hub

Speed, strength, and nutrition programs built for your child's exact age and position. Weekly challenges, MPH benchmarks, and progressive training grounded in published sports-science research.

College Placement

1,200+ college programs, publicly sourced coach contacts (last-verified date shown on each listing), scholarship finder, and a full recruiting CV builder. Cover every division — D1 to JUCO — with real data, not guesses.

Video Eval

Submit highlight reels and get real coaching feedback on recruiting videos — what works, what to cut, and how coaches actually watch film. Stand out before you ever step on the field.

Mentorship

Connect with experienced mentors who've been through the recruiting process firsthand. Real players, real stories, real guidance for navigating every step.

Mental Performance

Sports psychology tools used by professional athletes, adapted for youth players. Confidence training, focus protocols, and pre-competition routines that build mental toughness.

Meet Drew Russell

I built Global Soccer Pathways because I watched too many families spend thousands on recruiting services that gave them generic templates and wishful thinking. GSP is the opposite: fewer families, deeper work, and an honest assessment of where your athlete fits — even when the answer isn't the one parents want to hear.

I personally review every film, run every weekly check-in, and stay involved with every commitment. If I can't help your family, I'll tell you that before you sign up.

Be One of Our First Stories

GSP is new. I'm working with a small founding group of families right now, and I'd rather show you zero fake testimonials than a wall of recycled quotes from other platforms. When our first families commit, their real stories will live here — with their names and their permission.

Drew Russell, Founder
Why no testimonials yet

"Other platforms buy stock photos and invent parent quotes. I'd rather have an empty wall on launch day than a fake one. If you join the founding cohort and we earn a recommendation, it'll show up here — with your real name, your kid's real commitment, and your permission in writing."

Important: Global Soccer Pathways LLC provides college-recruiting tools, player development resources, and coach-outreach services. We do not guarantee scholarship offers, roster placement, or athletic-admission outcomes. Recruiting results depend on the player's performance, academic standing, and decisions made by college coaches. See our Terms of Service for full details.

Common Questions

What age is this for?
GSP is built for players ages 13 and up. Programs adapt to your child's age group, physical development stage, and skill level — whether they're just starting serious club soccer or already on a competitive academy roster.
Do you need any special equipment?
No equipment is required to get started. Training programs adapt to what you have — whether that's a full gym, just a backyard, or a local park. We work with your situation, not against it.
How is this different from NCSA?
NCSA focuses exclusively on recruiting — they help you get noticed by coaches, but they don't train your athlete, track performance, or build the skills that make coaches want to recruit them in the first place. GSP is the whole system: recruiting and elite training and mental performance, all in one platform.
What if my child isn't good enough for college soccer yet?
That's exactly why GSP exists. The platform is built to develop your athlete toward college-readiness — not just connect already-elite players to coaches. If your child is serious and willing to work, GSP gives them the roadmap and the tools to get there.
Can my child use this on their phone?
Yes — the platform is fully mobile-optimized and works on any device. No app download required. Your athlete can track workouts, review their recruiting profile, and check coach contacts from anywhere.
How do I cancel?
Any time, no questions asked. There are no contracts, no cancellation fees, and no minimum commitment. You can cancel directly from your account settings — it takes under 60 seconds.
Why do you ask for my child's birthday?
Two reasons: (1) our programs adapt by age group, so we need it to give your player the right workouts and nutrition guidance, and (2) we're a 13-and-older platform, and the birth year/month confirms that. We don't display your child's birthday anywhere public, and we don't sell or share it.
My child is 12 — can they still sign up with my help?
Not yet. We hard-block under-13 signups to stay outside COPPA (the US children's-privacy law), which keeps things simple and safe for families. The day your player turns 13, they're welcome. If you want a reminder closer to that date, email drew@globalsoccerpathways.com.
Who actually sees my child's information?
Drew (the founder) reviews every signup personally. That's it. Your contact info is never sold or shared. College coach data you see on the platform is publicly sourced — those coaches don't see your player unless you choose to reach out to them. You can request a copy of all your data or ask us to delete it at any time — email drew@globalsoccerpathways.com.
What does "free beta" mean — will you charge me later?
If you were invited to test the platform for free, you won't be charged during the beta period and you won't be auto-enrolled in a paid plan. If you want to keep using GSP after the beta ends, we'll ask you explicitly first. No surprise charges, ever.
How long does a video evaluation take?
Most evaluations come back within 5–7 days of submission. YouTube or Vimeo links are easier to review than direct file uploads, so those are preferred. Submit the full game or highlight clip and you'll get a detailed written breakdown with time-stamped notes.
