Because coaches could care less about adults who never grew up and kids that need parental guidance that obviously missed the mark due to them living vicariously through their child as children themselves. This whole thread screams insane insecurities. Go have an adult beverage with a friend and try not to talk about soccer.

Wow. After reading that, I feel like I’ve had a dozen strong adult beverages.

So here are the levels of bad for parents....
1. If you are on this site you are not innocent
2. If your DC is older than 10 and you feel the need to watch every practice you are on your way.
3. Now you have written a post on this site.
4. You went and watched a kids game that your child did not play in to check out how the team plays to see if you may want to move DC there.
5. You posted on this site critiquing / criticizing a coach or player from another club who did something you disliked in a game against you.
6. You stay after to watch other age groups of your club or other teams not associated with your club but coached by your DC's coach.
7. You start plotting with other parents about how to leave the club you are at and / or replace the coach.
8. If you are not on the top team you pick three of four kids on the top team you think y our kid is better than. If you are on the top team you start picking two or three other teams in the area that are also top teams and either (a. if you are winning tell everyone how bad they are or b. if you are losing tell everyone how well your dc would do there)
9. Booted at a game for yelling at the ref, other teams parents or your coach.
10. Booted at a game for fighting with parents of children on your team.

Number 1 is my favorite! Everyone on this site pretending they aren’t gossips and aren’t the ones who sit around and think/breath soccer drama all day long. Why you on this thing then? Don’t think it’s to get brilliant insight to some magical unanswered soccer question. Just admit to yourself that you are a gossip who is insecure about your child’s placement on whatever team your child is on and you love all the bashing because it makes you feel better about your pathetic gossip lives. If you are on DCU I would almost bet you are the type who;
1. Only has soccer parents as “Friends” (Using that term loosely considering if your children weren’t on the same team you know you wouldn’t talk anymore)
2. When the games done and your child doesn’t perform you must call your soccer friends to gossip or go out to eat with them and then only talk about soccer
3. At least three times a week talk badly about the coach
4. At least twice a week talk badly about the other kids on the team
5. Talk badly about other soccer moms or dads that are your friends that you’re feeling insecure about
6. Pretend that you’re not on DCU but you literally sit here and watch for the good gossip day in and day out
7. Blames everything on the coach and thinks the coach should be the savior for your child’s and abilities to play soccer the correct way
8. Complains about EVERYTHING
9. Once you gain knowledge you must call the next soccer “friend” you know to “secretly” gossip the information away so you feel in-control and important
10. You come on DCU to bash because you are to fake to do it in person

Everyone on here is pathetic gossip that obviously includes me since I am on it now. Snakes in the grass. Get of this thing and start building meaningful relationships that don’t consist around gossip and soccer.

Because coaches could care less about adults who never grew up and kids that need parental guidance that obviously missed the mark due to them living vicariously through their child as children themselves. This whole thread screams insane insecurities. Go have an adult beverage with a friend and try not to talk about soccer.

Wow. After reading that, I feel like I’ve had a dozen strong adult beverages.

Does this suggest the 20 something, former college soccer player is a good resource for parenting advice? My guess is many of the coaches don’t have a clue about raising children. (And probably a lot of other things)

Bingo! Not the job of the coach or teacher. That’s the job of the parent who if on here is probably the whole issue to begin with.

Agreed. Most non-parent coaches are snot nosed 20 yr olds who are clueless about kids. This is where the TD / club are supposed to play a part in training the newbie coach, but alas they often do not.

Again that’s on the parent not coach. Not sure why you all think that Coaches and Teachers should teach your child life skills.

One of the foundations and benefits of the entire sports community is the opportunity to learn life skills and make friends, because the overwhelming majority aren't going to be pros in their given sport. Or should the coaches just stop talking about being there for the love of the game and all the things in they attribute in their life that they got from their soccer/sports experience if that's no longer part of the social contract implicit in sports? No one thinks a coach should be raising their kid or giving parenting advice. A coach is still a role model and instills values and projects an image to these kids, just like their teachers.

My kid was lucky to have a coach that thought exactly this way and coached accordingly. Forever grateful.

Based upon what I e seen in the area, the TDs and EDs aren’t any better (experienced/parents/high EQ).
