[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s check the VDA girls state rankings on the Rankings app. 
2006 - #1
2007 - #6 (hardly terrible)
2008 - #1
2009 - #2
2010 - #1
2011 - #4 (PWSI pre-ECNL)

So I’m gonna go ahead and stick with my comment above about them being a consistently good girls program. It’s almost like Quan & Mikey know what their doing. 😂

How did being tops in the Mid-A and VA work out for these teams that qualified for national playoffs?[/quote]

3 of the 5 qualified for actual post season play.  Only the 06’s made it to the finals in Richmond to be bounced immediately.  The rest performed average as far as I know.  The 08’s being ranked tops in VA is interesting since that team has lost players and didn’t do great all year really.  Rankings should always be taken with a grain of salt.  I know that the new rankings app is doing things a bit differently but ranking youth soccer teams is a bit silly.  As previous poster mentioned.  QP isn’t involved on a regular basis with each team.  I’d consider him more of a QC person if anything showing up on match days.  VDA coaching on the girls appears like joystick coaching from what I’ve seen from the likes of AS and MW.  I know MA is there as well but that move with Herndon felt more like a way to get her in the door with a few players to try to shore up 07’s.  All just my personal opinion from observation.[/quote]

What is joystick coaching?[/quote]

Constant communication to the field, particularly during matches.  Some like it, some believe it doesn’t allow players to feel like they can play free and make mistakes/learn from them.  Joystick coaching aka coaching like you’re playing FIFA where you feel like the coach is in complete control rather than letting the team perform what they have been shown in training during the match.[/quote]
