[quote=Anonymous]Just found this post, and a bit late (understatement) to the party.  My daughter had her as a coach for years and yes she was tough, had favorites and treatment was dependent on how she felt about the child.  She told my daughter that she would never make it in soccer, and no matter how hard my daughter worked it wasn't enough.  She was known to curse at the children at the time she was 7.  My daughter spent years with her, and almost gave up the sport and no more joy out of it until we left the club and then it returned.   My daughter, now in her 20s, earned a full ride to a high ranking D1 school, was a National Team player who was part of the World Cup Qualifiers, and is thriving.  Had my daughter taken RaeAnn's words to heart she would not have made it.  
I know of many other players who have gone on professionally that have a negative story about this coach telling them that they would never make it at 7-8 years of age.  
Tough love is one thing. RaeAnn was abusive and it had nothing to do with playing time.  [/quote]
