How dare she not put pressure on these 6-7 year olds to become professionals and earn those badges.
I hear the futsal program had a lot of kids there, so while GFR might keep their best coaches, hard to coach when you don't have kids to coach
you have never seen her coach if you don't think she is putting pressure on those kids. maybe not PTA, we never did that, but at U9 and U10 she was a monster.
a monster? 🤣🤣 but you stayed w/ her for 2 years? and now people saying she’s coaching 100 girls and none have left….weird.
If she is coaching 100 girls, that is a bigger problem than her incessant yelling, IMO
agree. im so confused!
and wait, have none left or are they all going to phoenix?

Monster might be pushing it but she is a terrible soccer coach. There's a reason she coaches the youngest kids, parents don't know better.

no, thankfully my dd played for alex but we witnessed plenty of FA's behavior. it was atrocious. she's notorious for it but go ahead and keep defending her. your kid will one day have a real soccer coach and you'll see this for what it was.

She shouldn't be judged if everyone leaves, and she shouldn't be given flowers if everyone stays. We won't know until a couple of years down the road.
Sure. We won't know if she's successful for 2 years. But I'd be surprised if there are not quick improvements in things like communication and vision. I'm sure she already knows most of the players at GFR.
The fact that it took the Board over a month to announce the hire shows it was pretty well thought out. And my guess is they will support her making some quick improvements and/or that's why they chose her. Not sure who else applied for the job but I'd have to imagine there was some decent interest.

She's great, YES! Will she make changes? MAYBE when? 3-4 or maybe 6-7 years down the road
GFR is pretty lean management-wise. Who exactly are "all the people that were in charge" that will prevent changes?

Fair enough but a sinking ship just patched a big hole and is now afloat once again. We will see if the patch job does the trick but at least for now the ship is not sinking! The bad changes happen quickly and the good ones sometimes take a little longer.

Funny that the new hire announcement came right after OP chirped that winter had come. How quickly the seasons change!

MYS has not been afraid to push the malcontents out. Will be an interesting few months here with the coaches who think rules don't apply to them.
