| We left a team due to a coach who continuously yelled at DS. Last straw was when coach blamed DS (yelled at him “that is all your fault”) for passing back to a defender who had a terrible first touch, lost the ball, then illegally slide tackled the forward who stole the ball, causing a free kick and a goal. Took a long time for DS to stop looking at the sideline after every play to see if he was going to get yelled at. Last time I checked there are 11 on the field. Time to find a new team OP. |
| You've been with this 'abusive' coach for HOW MANY YEARS now???? |
Possible we are talking about different coaches, but that play sounds familiar. I interpreted that as he was yelling at the team. As he has done many times where the defense plays around too much. I just did not agree with the parents all season who thought he was yelling too much. The team improved a lot, to the point where they nearly beat and outplayed the higher level team in the tournament final. |
Clearly. Practice is where you get better, not in games. Soccer at the youth level is ALL about development and not winning or anything else. Doesn't everyone know "most European countries" don't keep score or care about winning until at least 15 or 16 years of age? Practice is where it's at, man. |
Confirmed by scientific studies lol |
What are you talking about, they only start keeping score caring about winning in Europe after the kid reaches 25... |
What's the point of winning games at U10 then getting killed from U12 onwards because you neglected to develop the tools to keep enjoying the game past elementary school? |
Outta sight, my man! |
Your ignorance says you don't recognize that the issue is focusing solely on winning low level games and posting pics of trinkets. Focusing on developing, evolving skills doesn't take away from winning. You think Christian Pulisic remembers games his team won at 9 years old? |
I was rapping about how practice is boss. We don't need some jive turkey coming in here trying to confuse the situation. Can you dig it? |
Not comprehending your jargon |
Just hang loose, brother. |
Okay, sister |
I think you're supposed to respond with cracker or honky in keeping with the theme established by the racist PP |
70s slang is in no way "racist." People of all races and backgrounds spoke that way. Some people don't get it, man. |
