[quote=Pepe][quote=novalegendary16][quote=Burtlecut][quote=soccer_dc][quote=Pepe]If you don't wanna win or go to college, fine. But lots do. They are coaching kids and as long as they aren't derogatory, they are fine to yell all day. These are simple coaches who have bad days, good days, relationship troubles, and have favorites. You also don't know how your kid isn't listening or paying attention to drills... maybe they aren't all you think they are.
All the coaches do their best and while you want more, you have what you have. Don't like ECNL competitiveness? Go play rec.
You really want them to "care"? Care how? Stop watching movies and expecting some Coach Carter bs. Never seen such beta crybaby attitude. You clearly never played sports growing up.[/quote]

That’s a pretty outdated attitude. Just because it’s always been that way doesn’t mean it’s right. We can do better for our kids. It is possible to be ultra competitive and demand excellence without crossing into verbal abuse. Plenty of examples of good coaches like this in sports.

It’s not easy to change attitudes but it does happen over time. It used to be acceptable for teachers to hit kids in schools. Most of society in this country decided they didn’t want that anymore. There will always be some who don’t like change, especially those who were at the top and feel threatened.[/quote]

It's folks like you that can't stand the old way and cope with it by saying, "it doesn't have to be that way". I disagree and damn glad kids get some hard nose direction from adults. Go watch news and see what happens to kids without direction. Don't blame the coaches because you're a soft parent.[/quote]

this is an interesting thread. sad to see folks like you unable to grasp how much useful, scientific information there is out there to prove your outdated views don't hold up anymore. There are better ways and we have learned this and we need to teach coaches and we all must learn better methods. just my opinion. [/quote]

Well, we all eagerly await your "scientific" studies on this. I'm sure they are of the highest regard and without question, we must never, ever deny the scientists. Please, I'm VERY interested in alllllllll the studies you have for us. Nothing says case closed to argument than, "well, studies say..." FFS. Just say your scared of yelling and you want your snowflake sheltered. Heaven help the darling if they don't get what they want in a nice tone.[/quote]
