The video is of the coach my daughter's team is playing against soon. Take a listen. I can't believe this guy is allowed to coach an ECNL team much less a youth team at all.[/quote]

Read the comments for some context. The Match Fit player is the one fouled. Full video is in the comments. [/quote]

What context? The video doesn't change what the guy said. It tells you maybe the reason he said it, but does it excuse the words?[/quote]

The coach is encouraging the player that just got fouled really hard to defend herself and not take that kind of punishment. The video was edited by the old fired Matchfit Director. I would want my coach telling my daughter the same thing.[/quote]

+1.  Many kids need to go in harder than they do.  This is especially true for girls where there can be a big disparity in the level of aggression.  Not committing to the tackle is the best way to get injured.  Going in hard is not the same as playing dirty.  The coach was not screaming at his player to "stud her", or "go for her knees".  He was just telling his player to "hit her hard" which is good, solid advice - especially if the player in question is getting knocked around by her opposite number who is going in a lot harder.[/quote]

Yeah, I watched twice. I thought I missed something. Hit her hard does not equal cheap shot.[/quote]

So at your next game, the coach tells his player to hit your daughter hard. She proceeds to do so. Your daughter tears her ACL. She may never play the same again. You ok with that? [/quote]

ACLs are not torn by hits.

My kids know when a body is coming because it’s legal if they are close enough to play the ball.

The problem is coaches need to educate parents/players that soccer is a contact sport. Don’t just run into it.[/quote]

ACLs are absolutely torn by hard contact hits. Just reading through this topic and can’t believe some of these comments. Soccer is a contact sport, for sure, but keep it clean. Instructing a kid to play hard is very different then telling a kid to hit another player hard. Only unskilled players and coaches need to play this way. [/quote]

The hit was clean [/quote]
