[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a girls coach that fits this description. He’s a giant man-baby child. Yelled at 8-10 year old girls after losing their WAGS tournament final in a razor thin close game. He’s going to be in for a rude awakening at the end of the season when half the team leaves (and numbers are already thin). My advice to you is to take your dollars to another club and let the upper management know why you left. Hurting their pocketbook is the best revenge. [/quote]

Ah yes, I unfortunately know exactly who you're talking about. He's the worst and no better with his other young team. Lovely man. So motivational and uplifting. Only made three girls cry on the drive home from a blow out preseason game because he did nothing all game but scream at a few kids and afterward told the girls they basically sucked and better start trying. Complaining in writing and with numbers is my best advice. [/quote]

I am interested in knowing which club this is along with the others. My DD is doing well at rec and ready for the challenge of travel, but hearing this about coaches is scary. Our rec coaches have all been so nice. Hearing this is quite a turn off. Are a lot of travel coaches this way even at the young ages?[/quote]

That is the biggest chance between rec and travel. On the plus side, coaches actually coach and arent just enthusiastic parents. But that also means they arent there to make your kid feel good.

My son has only played for 2 coaches and both are good, not toxic, not coaches i would complain about. But their style is so so so different than rec. They are tough. They make you run laps if you arent good enough at a drill. They push and challenge. I was a bit shocked because my son was 9 when he started travel and it seemed so off putting to make him perform in this environment. But he has become a more skilled player and enjoys the challenge.

I personally miss the lovely mom that was his rec coach who had a constant stream of encouragement throughout all practices![/quote]

Parents understand that tougher training is part of moving to travel from rec. I think this thread is talking more about the toxic horrible travel coaches. There are many of them out there. People should do their research before joining a team because this is not as simple as signing up for rec soccer and making sure kids have post game snacks. [/quote]
