[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I want a coach who :
- is competent in all tactical and strategic aspects of soccer and can communicate (teach) these
[b]- is smart enough to balance player development and team competitiveness appropriate to the age group[/b]
- is excellent at interpersonal communication with kids
- is good at interpersonal communication with parents
- has excellent integrity, means what he says, says what he means
- develops and communicates criteria for roster and playing time decisions and enforces it uniformly
- is approachable, open, honest, and respectful with regard to parent communications

As a parent of still youngish players, all of these things, and especially the bolded one. [/quote]

We have a coach that loves to make snide comments about players to those other players around him. For example:  Why is she too stupid to not go get the ball?  If she weren't 10 lbs over weight she would have beat her defender.   Too personal, too petty, not soccer related.  Kids will always share what they hear.  It honestly disgusts me that people tolerate this[/quote]

Sounds like Gus. Almost verbatim. He also bad mouths other coaches (especially Bobby). Not to their face of course. Part of the reason the 05 team and their parents struggle with Bobby as they all played for Gus pre-DA. [/quote]

No this was all about Bobby - the bad talker[/quote]
