German
superstar
goalkeeper Alex
Theumer was in a
position to turn
professional for
Bayern Munich
FC. Alex had
been in the
Bayern Munich
Junior
development
squad for over 7
years and was a
regular first
team contender.
Alex felt
he needed to
gain an
education as a
back up plan for
later in life.
He also saw how
the American
game was
developing
everyday with
superstars such
as David Beckham
(LA Galaxy)
gaining
mega-money
contracts and
how many college
soccer athletes
were being
drafted to top
soccer clubs
worldwide.
Alex had
no experience of
the U.S college
recruitment
process. He
contacted
Athletes USA,
which is known
for being the
No.1 Sports
Scholarship
Agency in
Germany and
across the
world. We
invited him to
our German
office located
in Munich and
explained how
our recruitment
process could
help him gain a
soccer coolege
scholarship.
He saw his
dream was
possible and
told us how he
would love to
play for a team
in California.
Our team did
exactly that and
gained a
position for
Alex at UC Chico
in Sacramento
California. Not
only did we
fulfil the
requirement of
getting Alex
into the state
of California we
also got him
into a top 10
ranked soccer
college!
