[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not saying this Stankovic is necessarily a good or bad coach. I know nothing of him, but it also sounds like no one here has actually seen him coach either. The reality is coaching at the senior level and coaching a u10 team are ENTIRELY different things. Experience at the senior level has almost zero carry over to the younger youth levels. He may very well have the aptitude for both, but this is a clear appeal to authority fallacy. The same is true for licensure. USSF licensure has ZERO reflection on someones actual coaching ability.[/quote]

I am sorry Sir, but I could not stop laughing at your reasoning that a qualified coach is not qualified to coach.
I am sure it is due to your lack of knowledge about sport in general and youth soccer in particular.
1) Per your reasoning, the likes of Juliano Belletti are not qualified to coach youth soccer, just because they played or coached at the highest level. 
2) These coaches, including Mike Stankovic, start at youth academy before being qualified to coach at world cup level.
My suggestion to you, if your daughter has a remote chance of being coached by Mike Stankovic, I take that any time, anywhere at any level over a D-licensed coach who watched a set of youtube videos.
Soccer is both a science and an art, take the opportunity if it is presented to your daughter, let a qualified coach, coach her.[/quote]

I hate to break it to you, but having a long list of credentials does not necessarily make anyone good at dealing with little kids who have the attention span of gnats.[/quote]
