Roadmap to College Soccer Episode 010 - From European Academies to Division 1 Soccer

In Episode 10, Grant and Erik sit down with two current D1 athletes — Luke Kirilenko (Wake Forest) and Lewis Johnson (Hofstra) — who both developed in European professional academy systems before navigating the NCAA recruiting process and transfer portal firsthand.They break down what coaches actually look for, how to ask the hard questions when being recruited, what it feels like to be in the transfer portal, and why standing out has very little to do with what happens on the field alone.Luke and Lewis also talk about Mentora, their mentorship platform built by current D1 athletes for youth soccer players looking for guidance, accountability, and real perspective from people who have already walked the path.New episodes every Friday.
