Nice that donations support their quest to learn good sportsmanship

“Young men”

Still a good cause but golly gosh - a bit farfetched no?

Why do they have a go fund me? Doesn't SYC provide financial aid scholarships like all the other community clubs?

Please identify other community clubs that are offering the same platform as the one requesting donations. Good job on your club for offering what it does, appears to me this coach is going above and beyond.

Well seems he isn’t a paid coach at the club
And raising funds for his own nonprofit
Wonder where the funds from it go?

[Anonymous]

Maybe he is a paid coach at the club
Confusing what the funds are for

Nice if funds go to shoes and equipment for kids

All the clubs I know of similar to SYC (large community sports clubs) offer financial aid to players for travel and rec for kids poor enough to quality, and pay the travel coaches. Often the parents of the players with financial aid have to volunteer X number of ahours.

This looks more like a slush fund.

Sandbagging?

Entering tournaments below your level, or flights below your level to make sure you win

Um... Dear Non Soccer Parent - Coaches do not get to pick the flight or the bracket.

Biggest myth in British history. The battle of Waterloo was won on the battlefields of Waterloo. Not too many etonians in the field that day except in HQ. so the rest of the men on the field that day (the young men referred to above) were, according to this line of thinking, totally irrelevant.

Ugh... here we go. The quote I gave is a misquotation but is meant to convey the message that sports not only build strong men but also help develop an individual's fighting spirit as well as a society that embraces it. I invite you to share how you are actively building strong men.

For 1 or 2 players. This coach actually cares about the kids. He has more than the one team at this age group.

Good for him trying to help out the community and these families.

if you think Waterloo is a good barometer, Wellington had the scum of the earth in his ranks. I'm not sure I'd want to go down that route to toughen my kid, but to each their own

First, by telling them the truth. Second, by telling them battles are won in the field based on a lot of different things, but win or lose, you can only control your own effort and commitment, and should always do that regardless of whether a victory or loss is likely to result. Third, that the most dangerous thing you can assume is that nobody else has figured out a better way to win. Fourth, that you should try to learn from the mistakes of others than your own. Anything else that you apparently did not learn along the way (other than dropping inaccurate quotes while lecturing others)?

1st step awesome. But no physical activity? And this is real, not hypothetical? How can my son benefit from your actions? Do you have an organization?
