[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you know what you say you know, why are you worrying about her starting some early season games? You are there for the training environment, right? It’s only October. Most coaches feel they need at least a few months for players to understand how the coach wants them/the team to play.

That said, it’s possible the coach doesn’t value your DD’s skillset the way you or an unbiased, knowledgeable person would and it’s also possible the coach values it but doesn’t see her skillset matching the team’s needs, e.g. overly concerned with conceding and would rather park the bus than get forward and create chances. If either of those is the case, it’s probably better for you to NOT saying anything to the coach, figure it out, and move on.

As you alluded to, though, it’s probably politics. Very likely. If that’s the case, the coach might have a lot to deal with when he shakes things up…so give him some time and if he can’t get past it by the end of fall, start looking again.[/quote]

Yes I am there for the training environment, and appreciate the post.  Just on the knowledgeable part I did play NCAA soccer, coach competitive high school soccer and trained players individually for many years.  So I am a soccer person through and through and stand by the fact that my assessment is undeniably correct.  That is why I wanted to mention it to keep the honesty, if you want to keep her we will expect it to change.  Rather then just FU leave at the end of the season.   Appreciate the post![/quote]
