Presentations & Information
Why Host a Recruiting Presentation?
The college soccer recruiting process can feel like a maze — especially for families navigating it for the first time. Between NCAA rules, timelines, highlight videos, emails to coaches, ID camps, and scholarship questions, it’s no surprise that players, parents, and even club coaches often feel overwhelmed.
Our presentations are designed to eliminate the guesswork. Whether you're a player looking for a clear roadmap, a parent wanting to support without overstepping, or a coach trying to guide your team, we provide straightforward, actionable strategies to make informed decisions.
Each session is led by Stewart Givens, a veteran NCAA coach, ECNL director, and recruiting advisor with over 15 years of experience at the NCAA Division 1 level of college soccer. Stewart has helped more than 300 student-athletes navigate their recruiting journey — from first emails to signing day — and maintains strong relationships with college coaches nationwide.
Every presentation is built on real-world experience, not just theory. Stewart shares behind-the-scenes insights from his time as a college coach, what coaches are really looking for, and how players can stand out in a crowded recruiting landscape. Parents leave with peace of mind. Players leave with a plan.

What People Are Saying about our Recruiting presentations
“I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the presentation tonight. As someone who has worked in college athletics for 30 years, I like to think I know a thing or two but, I learned a ton tonight and more importantly so did my daughter. I drove home to Lansing very impressed and have continued to be very grateful for the honesty and information shared with everyone at the club.
Thank you again for everything. We're very grateful and excited moving forward. “
— ECNL-RL parent
"Coach Givens' presentation on the college soccer recruiting process was incredibly valuable for our family. As someone unfamiliar with the process, I appreciated how he broke it down step by step. His emphasis on the player's desire and commitment to playing college soccer was particularly impactful. He provided clear guidance on choosing the right level and school, along with practical advice on contacting coaches, making highlight videos, and understanding scholarships. I left feeling much more confident and prepared to navigate the recruiting journey for my children."
