[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to put it in perspective, my logic is simple.  If my son wanted to watch other people play soccer, we'd turn on LaLiga. He wanted to play.  He worked hard, he did extra training and some coaches want what they want.  You can look at the starters and see what that is.  Is it size?  Speed?  Technical work?  Somethings are controllable, and some aren't.  So once a player has done what they can, then it's time to recognize that what that player has isn't what that coach wants.  A year is enough time.

And by the way, why isn't this coach we are supposed to give the benefit of the doubt to giving any feedback?  My kids always got evaluations, and they always knew what the coach was looking for. One coach used some online program with different metrics. [/quote]

Never have I said to not leave a club. All I have said is talk to the coach about your players shortcomings. That doesn't mean stay. That means understanding that all players have weaknesses and there is no reason to turn down an opportunity to discuss a players pros and cons. If you just want your player to play then just find a coach who will play him. If you want your player to get better then ask coaches what work on the side can be done. And since you paid for the service you should consider the player assessment a part of what you have paid for.[/quote]

Any and every club should already be providing those assessments, so a player should already know what the issue is.  If it isn't providing them, then add that to the list of reasons to leave.  Run in fact.  Because if there aren't evaluations throughout the year, then that's a coaching problem. [/quote]

Not many clubs are giving assessments around Thanksgiving but one is free to ask for one. If you ask and don’t get one then run. If you ask for one and you don’t like it, well of course run because they don’t “believe” in your kid and you are paying for a service after all and that service should include telling you what you want to hear.
