Guiding Families Through the College Soccer Recruiting Journey

The path to college soccer is filled with excitement, opportunity, and—if we’re being honest—confusion. Families quickly discover that the recruiting process isn’t straightforward. Between club structures, travel demands, highlight reels, ID camps, eligibility rules, and endless questions about “exposure,” it can feel overwhelming.

That’s exactly why GolGetr was created.

Born from Experience

GolGetr isn’t just an idea—it comes from lived experience. My daughter, Kylie Alvarez, recently committed to play Division I soccer at UTEP. But her journey was far from easy. For years, we drove 600 miles most weekends from El Paso to Dallas so she could compete at a higher level. It meant missed family events, long road trips, financial strain, and sacrifices at every turn.

Kylie’s success came not just from talent, but from strategy, initiative, and persistence. She learned how to advocate for herself, create film, connect with coaches, and stay academically strong—all while balancing the unique challenges of not living in a major soccer hub.

Her journey showed me that while the path is tough, with the right knowledge and support, it’s possible for any dedicated player. And that’s the heartbeat of GolGetr.

What GolGetr Stands For

At GolGetr, we believe being a “goal getter” means more than scoring goals. It’s about:

• Taking action instead of waiting for opportunities to come to you
• Overcoming obstacles whether you’re in a big city club system or a smaller hometown league
• Persevering through challenges with discipline and resilience
• Owning your journey by building confidence and making informed choices

Our mission is to guide players and families through every stage of the recruiting process—with clarity, strategy, and encouragement.

Why It Matters

The truth is, not every family has access to top-tier clubs or constant exposure. That doesn’t mean the dream of playing in college is out of reach. With the right mindset and tools, any player can take ownership of their journey and open doors to opportunities.
