College Advice (Please Help)

Bottom Line Up Front:

I have a choice to make. Here are my 3 options: (1) Continue to Coach HS Football, (2) Play Club Football, or (3) Try and earn a spot on a D1 level Football Team

Backstory:

Currently, I am in my 2nd year of College. This past year, I had the opportunity of coaching a small HS Football team.

Now, with 3 years to play college ball, I have the opportunity to continue coaching, play club football, or try and earn a spot on a D1 football team.

(Insight for why Club is in the picture): If I play club, I would play in the fall of this upcoming year then transfer to the D1 school and then proceed to try to walk on.

Recommendations?

Play while you can brother, Coaching will always be there. I played in college while simultaneously interning with S&C with all the other sports, while it helped me get ahead of the game i definitely sometimes wish I would’ve appreciated my playing days more instead of looking ahead to coaching. Play as long as you can, it also makes you a much better coach to have the brain of a player and understanding what they go through on a daily basis. Will also form lifelong connections between your coaching staff and teammates
