[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] - erosion of respect for club in state and Northern Virginia soccer circles, making it hard for club to attract talent or engage strategically with other clubs and leagues

Very important point.  Why has the VYS coaching been so bad since Eddie left and took his coaches with him? Unlike Eddie and other big club TDs in area, your new technical director commands zero respect in NoVirginia soccer coaching circles, which means that good coaches in the area don't want to work for him.  Until you solve that problem, he can fire all the coaches he wants but the result will be the same.  All the TD's recent disgraceful firings of numerous coaches in the middle of the season makes this problem even worse.  For good coaches, Vienna is now viewed as soccer career suicide.  [/quote]

It's not that the coaches Eddie hired was any better. It's just that Eddie wouldn't fire the bad coaches, not matter how unqualified they were or even if they were doing things potentially harmful to the kids, because Eddie benefited from keeping his coaches around.  Almost all the coaches that Eddie hired worked for his company and he got a cut of their paycheck, or they worked for the companies owned by his friends, for which Eddie got favors and so didn't want to upset them.  At least now VYS has a TD who's interested in the quality of the coach instead of how the coach can financially benefit the TD.  It will take time for a TD new to the area to find a cadre of qualified coaches, and there will be some mistakes along the way, but it will be better in the long run for the kids, and that should be the ultimate goal for any club.[/quote]

and FYI the ONE coach that you were refering to (which in and of itself was not accurate) was not under ITS.  the soccer community is a very small world.... of course he was friends with the other companies, clubs and families As much as he valued the club, that whole theory of keeping bad trainers for his friends is not very believable.  I think that he actually was involved in dismissing a parent coach for inappropriate behavior in front of the kids that he also seemed to be friends with.  and that parent was a BOD members spouse.  I dont think that he favored anyone when it came to the right thing for the kids
