When you say personality you really mean Attitude. That’s a basic term coaches use to help determine coachability. It’s also one of the few things your DD should be able to control, along with effort. Basic executive functioning. This all starts at home.

Nah, she just has a type! Every coach does. The job of the player is to figure out what you need to do to fit into what your coach wants. Hopefully it’s mostly on the field stuff, but coaches also have off the field things as well. EG isn’t mean, and she knows the game - but she does have favorites, and she likes outgoing players. Over time she should learn to have ways to deal with differences in personality, but she’s a young coach.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same goes for AW. If you don’t suck up to her she won’t give you the time of day. She sits on the sidelines during games with her hoodie on away from the team. Ask the keepers that left Arlington bc of her the last few years. We lost a some really good keepers to neighboring clubs like VDA and Union. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]I know some coaches have favorites but Arlington, in particular EG and AW, are soooo obvious about it and no one has called them out. Had we known ahead of time, we would have never come over.
It’s almost to the point that unless you suck up to them, you won’t get preferential treatment, ie playing time, social media posts, etc.
Come on coaches…..be better. Or is that expecting too much. [/quote]
