Testimonials
"As our daughter was going through her recruiting cycle we realized we needed some help to navigate the process. Albert was an advocate throughout the process for her. He made introductions to coaches, provided insight on how to get in front of schools and was very transparent with her on feedback from those coaches. Throughout it all he was always talking with our daughter about the right fit.
As we approached the finish line of the process he was communicating with the coaches and our daughter and ultimately in the end, our daughter ended up at a school that Albert encouraged her to consider as the right fit. Looking back, we are not sure we would have ended up at the school she choose without Albert and we would have made the wrong decision. We couldn’t be happier as it is a tremendous program with a history of a winning who makes the NCAA tournament. More importantly, the culture matched perfectly what our daughter was looking for and he was right, it was the best fit for her.
We are forever grateful and would without question highly recommend Albert to anyone who is looking for help in the recruiting world. He was there every step of the way. His honesty, transparency and communication made a difficult process so much easier for us."

Division 1 Assistant Women's Coach
"Looking for a scholarship and a place to play soccer for your child? This process was very stressful, not only for our son but also for us. With today's stresses with grades, scores on ACT/SAT, the busy life of an athlete, and then having to maneuver around with figuring out how to create video clips and contact schools, our son shut down and was so frustrated. We were frustrated, as well, because he did not want to talk about it and we did not know how to help him. That's when we called Albert Martin, Coach and long-time affiliate with The Sockers FC in Schaumburg/Palatine. We hired him to help our son secure an offer with a college. I know this is long, but I can't say enough about Albert. He genuinely cares about these kids. He helped Marco with all of his videos and uploading them. Because of Albert's history, he is in contact with and personally knows many of these college coaches. He speaks to them on behalf of the players. He took all my calls and texts, hounding him for information because Marco would not give it to me. Albert is patient, kind, and understanding. Success, Marco accepted an offer from Western Illinois University, as he connected with the coach and appreciated his philosophy. Now Marco is very excited about his next chapter.
I thank you Albert for all he has done and I would recommend him highly!!!"
