He is really patient and kind to the girls but knows his soccer as he played professionally in Brazil. He runs his own Futsal company “Soccer the Brazilian Way”. Marvin is head coach of the 04 United team-same league. They both assist with 05/06 DA teams with training. Marvin is also well liked by the girls.

Gus and Marvin are terrific coaches. Great with the girls and excellent teachers. That's why they also train DA teams. TSJFCV needs more coaches like these 2 and should get rid of everyone else- bunch of egocentric wanna be's.

Starting with Bobby - he is a student of the game but the worst as a human being. the worst.

He is s a student of the game but has he ever played the game?

Not in a competitive nature. He's a tool.

Did he play in college?

Nope. Exactly why I like Marvin, Gus or Emma to train my DD.

How exactly can a guy who never played in college be a US DA coach and a US Scout?

No requirement. You are thinking too logically - as in - you need skills and experience to hold a job. But you have to remember this is soccer. It's political and $$$$.

Yeah. What the hell were the Patriots thinking when they hired Bill Belichick, for instance. What would a LAX player know about football? I know, I know, his dad coached at Navy, so there was football in the family, but folks, if you don't need to be a player to be a top-notch coach in the NFL, where there is more role for coaching and control than any other professional sport, I don't think high-level play is necessary to be a good soccer coach. Obviously the quality of the coach can have a huge impact on the team, but the quality of the coach's play in a former life is unlikely to make a huge difference. On the other hand, half of this is belief. And there is no question that players like coaches who played at high levels. Cruyff, Guardiola, Zidane have all been first rate, and with respect to Zidane, that probably has a helluva lot to do with how other players view him.

Football and soccer are completely different sports. Please don’t use the greatest football coach of all time to rationalize this. Bobby was a cross country runner in high school and DJ at Alabama. FCV has slipped since Terry left. No secret there. Do you really want the person responsible for your DD’s development to be a person who could not make their high school soccer team?

The article says Bobby “quit” playing soccer halfway through high school. Depending on when he actually started playing it is pretty reasonable to infer that the kids he coaches have more experience playing the game than he does.

And how many parents on the sideline that condescends to have more playing experience than he does?

What a hack.

Just proves that talent at FCV is more important than coaching and development.

Well, Bobby is excellent at riding kids so that part works.

Bobby seems to be a pretty typical Millennial. Zero respect for actual hands on experience. Take a few license courses, shake the right hands and boom you are a now a master. A true lack of playing experience means he can never truly relate to players and the speed of the game and their decisions. He is also probably technically limited to even demonstrate proper technique much less know it when he sees it.

Pretty shocking that someone with so little hands on playing experience has risen so high in the youth ranks and is actually a gate keeper for US National teams.

He’s a gatekeeper? In what regard? He scouted before falling into the fcv job.

More than anything it seems like one person or maybe more have a personal problem with this Bobby guy. Take it up with him and stop hijacking this thread.

He still has US Soccer coaching duties and is certainly the coach at FCV passing along names to US Soccer.

Discussing a coach in a thread dedicated to the "best coaches in the area" is hijacking? If by hijacking the thread with Bobby being discussed as a coach I can only assume that you are implying he is not a coach to be considered the best in the area?
