[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What management? Isn't their a board that hires a director of each gender? I agree that they squandered a great opportunity but who is responsible for the poor performance of the girls side. Shannon has impeccable credentials as a player and coach so I find it hard to imagine that she is responsible for the decline on the girls side but the reality is that the best team at Bethesda, came together before Coach Shannon arrived. The other teams have struggled in ECNL play but did perform in showcases.

I think the issue is that the parents are out of control. The sense of entitlement ruins the culture of what should be a great club. I guess the understanding at Bethesda that as a parent your are co-coaching director. I am sure Coach Shannon grew tired of people questioning her decisions give that she was the top college soccer player when at UNC, a major player on a champion WC team, a successful YNT coach and a successful DI college soccer coach. Blame the parents over there as well. There is no way possible that the club can ever hire someone with similar abilities. Well done, Bethesda![/quote]

Generally agree with this, but I will say that being a great player and a good coach doesn’t necessarily translate into being a good manager or talent evaluator. There is no question she’s had to deal with a lot of PITA, whiny parents. But she also brought in some very poor coaches and was loyal to them to a fault. [/quote]

You might have a point on the management side but part of being a successful DI and YNT coach is managing. I also believe some of the top age group coaches  were pretty solid. Dave Green has a unique style but it is difficult to ignore his track record. Coach Trey is young but is building a strong reputation. Coach Nancy is also solid. I don't know all the coaches but have come across those referenced above in games where my DDs have played against Bethesda.  [/quote]

Coach Trey is excellent, indeed he won the national coaching award for 2-year colleges a couple of years ago.  "Unique Style" = yelling and shaming??[/quote]
