The video is of the coach my daughter's team is playing against soon. Take a listen. I can't believe this guy is allowed to coach an ECNL team much less a youth team at all.[/quote]

Read the comments for some context. The Match Fit player is the one fouled. Full video is in the comments. [/quote]

What context? The video doesn't change what the guy said. It tells you maybe the reason he said it, but does it excuse the words?[/quote]

The coach is encouraging the player that just got fouled really hard to defend herself and not take that kind of punishment. The video was edited by the old fired Matchfit Director. I would want my coach telling my daughter the same thing.[/quote]

+1.  Many kids need to go in harder than they do.  This is especially true for girls where there can be a big disparity in the level of aggression.  Not committing to the tackle is the best way to get injured.  Going in hard is not the same as playing dirty.  The coach was not screaming at his player to "stud her", or "go for her knees".  He was just telling his player to "hit her hard" which is good, solid advice - especially if the player in question is getting knocked around by her opposite number who is going in a lot harder.[/quote]
