They don't look at it. They only care about your soccer skills and knowledge.
If you don't make it to big time, then it's hard to fall back on a job when you have no proper education. So finish high school and GO for it if you WANT it. FORÇA BARÇA!

yeah, johan cruyff quit school when he was 13 or something, and look how great he was. i'm not saying you should drop out, but i'm just saying you don't need A's to be a pro

whatever you do, don't do the same as ol' cruyff unless you want to take a HUGE risk that could change your life very negatively. last year for a paper that i wrote i interviewed a college soccer (D1) coach and he said that his "philosophy," if you will, was that the player's priorities should go like this: "school, then soccer, then everything else." sometimes the first two might overlap a bit, but try to stick to that. if you try and can't make it pro, you don't want your grades to limit your options of where you can play in college (as a player said in an interview for the same paper). so, to summarize, put school first and then soccer. hope this helps.

i'm sorry if i made it sound like i think you should drop out of school. i'm only 14, but i think everyone needs to stay in school, at least so they have something to fall back on. i'm really hoping to become a pro player when i'm older, but if that doesn't work, or if i get hurt, i don't want to be left without a job. cruyff was lucky, you might not be.

stay in school. play college ball. Try to get drafted. If you do not get drafted, you have an education to fall back on.
