My college experience in the US was amazing, I do not regret a thing about it and enjoyed every minute on and off the pitch. You become such a huge family with your teammates which always makes the experience a lot better. My advice would be to go for it, there is so many positives which comes from going down this route. There is always the option of going professional after college, but getting a degree while playing the sport you love is a fantastic opportunity.

My expectations are very high, after speaking with the team I believe we will bring in a lot of top talent from Ireland. We are able to offer players first hand experience of the college system and lifestyle as we have all our staff have been through it. We have a lot of talented players here in Ireland which don’t know enough about the US College Soccer pathway and I look forward to helping them out.
