[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coach mentioned above started out as a great coach but has become so invested that he throws a shit fit every time his team loses or starts to lose. He lost a grip on the big picture and is just an a-hole to the refs and opposing teams. [/quote]

I don't know this coach but it's crazy that a "good" coach would care so much about "winning" at this age especially coaching his son.  Kids need to learn how to hold onto a lead, come back from a few goals down, win in PKs. Lose in PKs. Win big. Lose big. Win and lose tight games.  Every game provides a new lesson that the kids hopefully take with them so they can deal with these situations when they are older and may matter a little more. Kids need to learn how to snap back from a loss and not get over confident from a win. Part of the process.  What if a kid won every game he played 6-0 until he was 16 years old.  Would you want that?  I wouldn't. He'd be obnoxious! : )[/quote]

Think this is a coach who actually knows that but has a problem executing it. He has a competitive spirit and gets way too caught up in the moment. To the point where he doesn't care who gets injured, etc. Have seen this coach cheer kids getting knocked down and complain about play being stopped when his own player was on the ground hurt. Not a good look, and the club should assess whether he belongs on the sidelines. [/quote]

I'm sure they'll take your advice given you've seen a short YouTube video and have never met the coach, while they have known him for years. Yeah. That's the ticket.[/quote]
