How many high school athletes get to compete at college level

     There are many high school athletes who their biggest dream is to be able to play their sport in college and later maybe even achieve a professional level. Every athlete's dream is to be able to play in the NCAA, the most prestigious division in college sports. For example, my dream is to reach the top in soccer, but first I want to play at an university that could get me ready for that level. According to the website College Sports Scholarships, in high school there are about 358,935 soccer players. Out of those player only 19,797 get to play soccer in the NCAA. From this group only 75 are drafted to play professional soccer. That is why is very hard to get to play at a high level, but you need to take advantage of all the opportunities out there.
