Bsc decided wins are most important for the 2013 girls.[/quote]

What does that mean?  Looks like U12 coach is same as this year. [/quote]

He’s a nut job but he gets results and some girls thrive under him. He’s now been with BSC three years. His behavior is widely known by the club and the 2012 and 2008 parents. People have differing opinions on him but enough of the top players parents like/tolerate it for him to stay. He is who he is. [/quote]

Why does he get results? Are those results just winning games or also developing his players? [/quote]

I am not a fan of his behavior and how he speaks to young women, and makes them feel like sh*t, but even I agree and think most would say he’s a good technical and tactical coach and that he both wins and develops players, if the player can respond to that environment.

Be prepared to be screamed at, a lot, especially during games and in front of your teammates nasty things said about you. That may work for some 10/11 year olds while others whither. And some parents deal with it and others don’t. [/quote]

This sounds like trolling coming from an overly sensitive helicopter parent.[/quote]

Not the poster, but I don't think it's overly sensitive for parents not to want a coach to say "f you" and "you are f'ing worthless" (countless more - and worse - examples available) to their 11-year-old child. You can develop an elite young player and be a demanding coach without cursing your head off at them and making them feel like they matter less than the dirt on your shoe. Hell, professional women's soccer teams and national teams have put this issue front and center as something that needs to change. SC is not the end-all, be-all of youth soccer and hopefully one day BSC moves on from him.[/quote]
