How Does One Become an Athlete?

<p>I am really interested in joining UCLA’s soccer team hopefully by the time I graduate. I know that since UCLA is known for their athletics and I know the majority of the spots on many of its teams are given to recruited athletes, what should I do, in order to get a spot on the team?</p>

<p>I have played soccer for well over six years but never pursued it seriously enough. But since I have been accepted to UCLA, I have begun to give it heavy consideration and I think I could be really good if given the opportunity. </p>

<p>So what should I do to make this dream a reality for myself?</p>

<p>Just a little FYI, I am 6’2 and 189 pounds, will that help my chances?</p>
