[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BSC seems to be having a down year at 2014G. What is going on there?[/quote]

A down year? You are probably the same person that has trolled the BSC thread with this stupidity. Get a life and look at the difficulty of their league competition as they “rank” nationally. The team’s prior coach was horrendous and the new coach practically had to start from scratch.

Prior coach horrendous? Practically started from scratch? I see KL's mom is on here. I don't recall last years team losing to some of the "difficult" league teams Pipeline or Maryland United last year and smashed Ukrainian Nationals 5-0. Just because they played differently last year, doesn't mean the coach was horrendous. If you compared their results and the outrageous behavior from the sidelines this year, many would say this years coach is "horrendous". [/quote]

How does KL’s playing style differ from last year’s coach? I understand difference in sideline behavior, but what’s different on the pitch?[/quote]

From my perspective, KL tells them what to do constantly and his way is the only way. It becomes predictable and good team figure them out quickly (even the not so good ones). When mistakes are made a verbal lashing is coming, thus creating fear and little to no decision making on their own. The other coach allowed them to play and “to figure it out”. This empowered them to make decisions. They may have not made the right decision but it was “their” decision to make. A teachable moment where the player learns through her decisions not from being constantly told what to do. At the end of the day, it’s “their” (players) game. The other coach was not perfect, no doubt but you can’t say that he didn’t allow them to play. A there was a more team like and happier atmosphere and they all cared about one another. [/quote]

This is right on KL. Good coach but it’s his way or the highway.[/quote]

I wish my DD’s coach would give his players some direction and let then know when they made the right or wrong decision more often. It’s a team sport where players have specific responsibilities and they’re not going to learn what they should and should not do by osmosis. [/quote]

You don't think they know? They know their responsibilities and they know when they make a mistake. You don't think her coach speaks to her when she comes off or asks her questions? Highlighting it and putting a spotlight on them does not help and further destroys their self image and makes them less likely to make another decision on her own. You have a lot to learn about girls soccer and how girls view the game. But as long as the girls does what she is told thats ok by you. [/quote]

This is a silly take and "assumes" there is clear coach/player communication during down time - there isn't.  I always ask my girls if/what the coach says to them when they come off, after the game, during practices (especially if they have been making mistakes) - the coach mostly says nothing. [/quote]

Find a coach that gives your player feedback when they come off and after games and practices. My DD has frequently commented that she gets constructive feedback when she comes out and then is given an opportunity to go back in and continue playing. He gives them direction during match play but does not joy stick them around. [/quote]
