[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had coaches with a pile of certifications that suck so yeah cool they sat through a lot of classes and got some paper. When it comes down to it, that doesn't mean they are a good coach. I like to see the certs and all that, but it's pretty meaningless if they aren't able to develop players.[/quote]

At least one of these coaches has long track record of training to D1 level development.  What are you looking for as credentials?  I’d say that’s pretty good.  Already, in less than a year there are teams qualifying for nationals.  [/quote]

I'm sure you can find one example of literally anything. I'm just saying credentials are great on paper, but many times do not actually translate to "good" coaching. It is more common that they aren't good than they are good. At the end of the day, it is a marketing tool and not a guarantee of anything. [/quote]

No one said the three VRSC GA coaches are good because they have good certifications. They are exceptional coaches relative to NVA’s and LS’s GA coaches because of the sum of their various experiences.  Look at their resumes, where they played, where they coached, in what roles and for how long. Ask the club to connect you with some of their former players. Talk to the coaches themselves. Then do the same for NVA / LS coaches.  For people who do their own research, it’s an easy decision. [/quote]

And you wrote this with a straight face?[/quote]

Yup. But ultimately my opinion doesn’t matter, nor does yours. I’m encouraging players and their parents to compare the observable facts (starting with the resumes of all the GA coaches in Loudoun County) and then to go talk with those coaches and their former players and parents, and decide for themselves.  If you believe, as I do, that coaching is the single most important factor, the choice is clear in Loudoun County. [/quote]

Ok, sure.  Let me go find all these coaches, all their the former players and parents for feedback.  Shouldn’t take more than a week or so right.  And coaching is not the most important factor but only one of many that makes a good player.  If you think that true then good luck with that.[/quote]
