[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah great advice folks, they're down 0-2 within 5 minutes and down 4 goals before half time, and the coach had to sub my kid out to save him from his own teammates yelling.

'Just chill and let the coach coach.' Yeah right. [/quote]

Are you the OP?

If so, first, were the 4 goals because the other team was really good?  Second, do any of the other kids on the team realize that goals conceded in soccer are almost always on the defense (or the team as a whole) not the keeper?

Third, if he's horribly out of position or letting balls slip through his hands, then either he needs coaching before the game on how to do these things or reminders - from his actual coach not his dad - on his positioning.  Or he needs a new position (having coached youth there are some kids who simply aren't cut out to be GKs).[/quote]

yes that's me the OP.

i was mad when i posted that but got over it. just felt coach could've done more. don't think he's learning or improving by failing like that. but whatever. i've moved on.

(until the next game, that is  :wink:  )[/quote]
