Bethesda coaching slate for 21-22 year

[Anonymous]

What is the rationale between progressing an age-group through a variety of coaches as they get older, rather than a single coach advancing with a single cohort of girls? It seems that BSC has certain coaches who coach certain age groups and all the girls just grow-up through this coaching hierarchy. I’m not saying it’s wrong; just haven’t seen this model before.

There's a whole list of people who shouldn't be coaching on there.

Different perspectives from different coaches.

Too easy for a coach to play favorites.
Going from coach to coach gives players that may not have been rated highly by one coach a chance to impress another.

Yes, plus there'd be a lot more program turnover if there was one coach...if you didn't like him, you'd have to leave the program entirely.

Boys coaches aren't any better.

What do you mean by that? Lots of good coaches who treat kids well on the boys’ list, and only a couple that are known for yelling in my experience.

Don't care too much about yelling - but I would like to know who the better coaches are.

Shaun Cryer has personally coached 54 players that finished out their time as seniors with him, and have gone on to play at high level college programs over the last 4 years. Further, 20 players also went on to play under his guidance but directly as his coach. That is more than any other single coach in the State of NJ in that timeframe. 42 out of 54 players went on to play at NCAA Division 1 programs, 11 players went to high academic Division 3 and 1 Player to a Division 2 program.
Team Achievements

2 NPL National Championships
1 US Club National Cup Champion
1 NCS Region 1 Championship
2 USYS National League Champions (2 Teams)
3 Appearances at the NCS National Championships (2 teams)

All of this was done before GA and in the early days of ECNL. What a horrible coach. SMH...

We or close friends have had good to excellent experiences with both Martin brothers, NS, the great PG, CA, PM, KM, and ME. BM is polarizing, but we like him. Most of the remainder I don’t know enough about to offer an opinion.

Ah yes, the old "abuse is fine if the kids succeed" excuse.

Mclean, Potomac, Metro United and MSI parents out in full force today.

Just because the Elite Girls teams may have hard coaches, it does not give you the right to bash the club. Anyone that reads this forum knows the girls coaches are hard but they get results, girls are invited to US National ID camps, and some will likely go on to P5 schools.

If the tough love and hard working atmosphere is not for your DD, then find another club. Don't curse the kids and families that flourish in this type of environment.

It's up to parents and the club to decide what "abuse" is. Not an over zealous Mclean parent who has there own opinion. We've already had this conversation.

Haven't seen anyone curse the kids and the families, just the coaches.
If you want "tough love" for your kids, go for it. But we can point out the coaches to avoid for those who like a different approach.

Exactly. And he more people know, the better the decisions they can make.
