This has to be the least insightful post on this thread, and that is saying a lot. |
Really? You took their mildly funny shade and made a comment that is no where near true. I could find at least 20 less insightful comments in just this thread - we’re talking about DC Urban Mom’s! Plus, she’s the best player on the Eastern Seaboard so I’d make sure the back was in her hands too! |
| Sorry ball was in her hands. |
Younger daughter is a 2026 so I doubt any longer than that. He did play at a very high level, so they could do much worse than him if no one else steps up/wants the job. |
| The frustrating thing is that Visi has lost the entire class of 2028 talent because of this. |
They lose an entire class of talent because the presumptive coach for at least the next couple of years was a three time NCAA All-American and US National Team player? I'd think the smart girls who played their cards right and submitted their applications are feeling pretty good about this. |
The soccer coach has girls in the school but she has been coaching there long before her daughters attended the school. Not sure if anyone else is a parent coach. |
Doesn't he have a full-time job? I can understand stepping in for one year, but if you have a FT job (not self-employed) it's going to be stressful to dip everyday at 3pm to be at practice. I wouldn't expect this person to be committed for more than a year. |
Playing at a high level doesn't mean you will necessarily be a good coach. Plenty of coaches out there that are great and never even played in college and vice versa. Just saying... |
Expect more than 1 Dad coach, and they will do a good job. |
I would suggest it probably impacted a few applicants, but wasn't a determining factor for most families. |
My daughter plays for a TOP Maryland club team and would not lower her status by playing for a dad-coached high school team. |
This has to be a joke - many of the TOP Md teams are coached by dads (and moms). |
Agreed. Coppermine, Eagle Stix, M&D, and Crush (4 of the top 6 2028 teams) all have parent coaches... |
I am not aware of anyone from any of those 4 teams that would have considered Visi in any case. |
