I don't see the difference. Both unaccesptable.

There definitely SHOULDN’T be a difference. It might be a more common or less surprising occurrence in MLS Next, but we shouldn’t be excusing it any more than we would excuse a vandal cause “well at least I didn’t steal anything.”

My son was at the MLS Next ID session. JR approached us after the ID session and asked for my son to attend their practice the following week. We showed up to practice, but JR didn't. Apparently, JR's son locked them out of the house and they had to ask another coach to run the session.

We saw too many red flags and decided to not come back.

Why? Crappy like lazy? Poor communication? Over the top drill sergeant type?

He lacks respect. Practices are constantly being cancelled, often times they are last min. He shows up late to games. He makes the players carry all his equipment. Those are just touching on some of the issues. There are deeper issues, but SYC never bothered to investigate.

The problem with youth soccer in this area lies with the people who spend their time talking about what people wear as if that is an indicator of their ability to coach. Wild things to focus on while the rest of the discussion is about the actual development process (or lack thereof) and the quality of the actual coaching.

Youre worried about the score of a U9 game in a development league.... youth soccer will never get better with people like you. Referees are kids and kids make mistakes, unless the score is 5-0 then its just a competitive game

How you present yourself is a reflection of who you are. I manage over $100,000,000 in real estate equity. How would I look arriving to my office or a meeting wearing shorts and a backwards hat?

I highly doubt you manage 100M USD. However, if you do, your employers clearly aren't concerned with your terrible grammar and punctuation.

What I have just mentioned, is essentially the same as wearing a backwards ball cap and shorts to work. Now then, are you agreeable that certain things perhaps don't affect someone's ability to do a job?

JR does have his own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonahan_Romero

At SYC he took C teams to B team level and some of his players moved to A teams too. His drills and core exercises are fantastic, my son would disagree, lol.

He's very passionate and committed about Soccer.

He was the director of camps and did lot of private training on the side. He's tough on the boys but great with the girls.

SYC is a mess, that's why we left. HR will be a good addition to Arlington.

Why is it a mess? I definitely know about McLean/Vienna/BRYC merger chaos, and some SYC coaches being over-the-top, but not sure about the organization as a whole being a mess. Did some SYC coaches leave for Arlington due to dissatisfaction with the organization?

His training is so hard to watch. We stopped going to our team practices and go to a private trainer instead.

Not my circus,not my monkey as to who the other poster supports. However, it is "an SYC fan" not "a SYC fan.

Yes. Typically it is 'a" before a consonant and "an" before a vowel but there are exceptions. In this case, the "S" in SYC makes a sound like it begins with a vowel, "Es." Therefore, you (well clearly not you) would use "an." It doesn't matter what the first letter is, it is the sound the letter makes that helps dictate if it is "a" or "an." To assist you in the future, when the letter "U" makes the sound of the letter "Y" the correct article is "a" as opposed to "an", such as "A university."

Also, very poor ellipsis usage in your,"sentence."

Trying to make yourself sound smart is hard, yeah?

Carry on then.

SYC is the only club to have every single boys' age group (U15-U19) qualify for MLS Next Flex. Not a single other club has all, if any (or only 1 team) playing in FLEX this week/last week. And, they are doing phenomenally well against top academies. I think Alex and Bethesda only have one age group that qualified--and not doing as well.

Disagree with the bolded. You could have stopped after the first two words. And a good coach knows that not all kids respond to that approach.

Thanks SYC fanboy aka the M brothers for posting and reposting this same shit.
