[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most ecnl coaches that I have seen are quite stubborn. They rarely change tactics in game and play the same players for most of the game. 
Parents walk on eggshells around the coaches  as they control so much of your child’s soccer journey. Not surprisingly then, the coaches are generally unapproachable.

Youth soccer in the states is a joke to outsiders. [/quote]

Well, outside America, no parents think they have rights, privileges or entitlement to give input to coach or club.

I’ve always assumed this at any club so I’m always amazed at how regularly parents do this. It would be easy to just walk if one is not happy with a club. But I can also understand that there may not be a ton of options by a certain level and it would be a lot of work for parents to ensure that the kid develops still wherever they end up.

So Larry the Accounts Receivable Manager who played soccer in Middle School thinks he has the soccer knowledge to give suggestions and instructions to a former Pro player who has been coaching and developing kids for 15 years? [/quote]

Yes! That’s what’s amazing to me. Watching parents makes suggestions to coaches. We never said anything in part because we never played the sport although we do watch a lot of it.

FWIW, the parents on my kids team who did play d1 or pro or a coach themselves tend to stay far away at practices or games.  They said it’s easier that way.[/quote]

+1000 - I'd be lying if I said this is the way I've always done it, but by the HS years I;ve learned its the only way to be. Its not your journey and you have little to no control other than being the driver. So sit back, stay away from the crazies (you know who you are) and enjoy your children playing the beautiful game[/quote]
