The Premier Playbook: The No-Nonsense Guide Every Soccer Family Needs
Let's cut through the noise. You're drowning in conflicting advice about college soccer recruiting. One coach says start early, another says wait. Your club promises exposure but charges thousands for tournaments that lead nowhere. Meanwhile, your athlete is stressed, you're confused, and time is ticking.
Here's the truth: Most recruiting advice is either outdated, overly complicated, or written by people who've never actually lived through the process.
That's exactly why Christina Milward wrote The Premier Playbook, and why it's becoming the go-to resource for smart soccer families who want results, not rhetoric.

Christina isn't some recruiting consultant who studied the process from the sidelines. She's a soccer mom who navigated the entire recruiting journey with her daughter, from club soccer chaos to securing a Division 1 commitment.
The difference? This book gives you the real story, not the sanitized version clubs and recruiters want you to hear.

No filler content that wastes your time
Straight-to-the-point strategies that actually work
Real-world insights from someone who lived it
