[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you 2014 parents really thought your team would stay together for years and years and no one would ever leave for other opportunities?  Talk about ABSURD.  This is just not something that happens.  Very few teams endure and keep intact.  Especially with the age group change happening, you're nuts if you think this team was going to ALL stay at GFR and no one would seek other opportunities.

Gotta run get on my plane with my kid to Dallas now. lol[/quote]

LOL..i love the ending but I think the concern is the secret back door special opportunities that are being offered to a "select few" while the year is going on at another club that the same coach works for. Its a clear conflict of interest. That coach doesn't even coach the 2014s at Bethesda so it is clear they are funneling talent elsewhere. No team stays together forever, but they way some of the GFR coaches are doing it is alarming and definitely a conflict of interest. If you were running a business (which GFR clearly is) and and your supervisor found out that you were sending your clients to a rival competitor, you would be terminated immediately. They are paid by GFR to train and develop these kids, not send them and encourage them to go elsewhere to another club THEY WORK FOR AND GET PAID BY. At the end of the year, if the customer wants to try a different competitor then of course that is fine. If the parent wants to look at other opportunities prior to the end of the year, that is fine. But an employee of a business encouraging and setting up opportunities to land clients and customers for another competitor is unethical and violates the conflict of interest acknowledgment that each coach signs at GFR.

Someone jealous they couldn’t get a second gig coaching an ECNL team?

P.S. it’s not a business, it’s a nonprofit whose mission is to develop kids, which this is entirely consistent with.[/quote]
