National champion?

That is not the case with Shaun Cryer. He will scream and stomp his feet. His antics on the sidelines are notorious against his competitors. He has girls on his sidelines crying and they leave the field not knowing what they did wrong

A good coach will correct a problem and support the player so they do not feel like a failure. Mr Cryer does not do that

And Shaun Cryer is not for everyone, and why is that? Well it is because he is an elite coach. (here comes more eye rolling and haters) But your feelings on Shaun aside, imagine it isn't Cryer and it's another elite coach (like who everyone would say is elite) Do you really think they are the nicest people, that need to do care and feeding around everyone's emotions and personality traits? Yes, ok, part of being an elite coach and player is caring for players and getting the most out of them mentally, but simplify it again a bit -- Elite coaches train elite players and elite players are mentally different than those who are not. Argue that all you want, but the elite players need different things and are not going to be phased by someone telling them they have a terrible touch or the pass was 3 feet too far. The elite player will say to themselves, "shut up Shaun I hate you for saying that, but I'm going to make my touch and pass better so you shut up and teach me the next thing" They aren't going to be upset over it the next day and cry to mommy and daddy.

sounds like exactly the guy I'd want around 14 year old girls.

Idiot. Highest ranked Girls Team in the DMV if you don't account U18/U19 age groups. Has turned around the 07 team. 06 Team has a decent chance a Nat'l ECNL Championship. 05 team has admittedly fallen. Just recruited one of the most sought after coaches in NJ that is not part of the ECNL.

But he is a "Huge" problem. Leave Bethesda alone Mclean parent.

Turned around a team? What team? The 07s? How about the 04s? Oh yeah, the 05s! LOL! (sarcasm...just check the ECNL standings)

He was handed all these teams on a sliver platter. These teams should have good results based on their talent alone.

Other than his beloved players he stole (and sold a bill of goods to) from Rush, how many 1st team starters has he been able to recruit? How many players have defected mid-season? (I know you're going to say they couldn't handle him and left. Well....If emotionally abusing young girls is ok by your standards here, then ok I'll give you that one. Again, sarcasm)

Sought after coach in NJ? Yeah, run a background check on Cryer. Let us all know how that goes. Did anyone in "admin" have any oversight on that hire?

Good coaches in the DMV will continue to stay far away from the meglomaniac POS.

Call DN at G'town and ask him what he thinks of KL and player development. Tell him you're asking for a friend.

You're not in Kansas anymore, KL. This is the big leagues now. Shape up or SHIP OUT! Hooorah!

Did do my research on Cryer. There is whole thread about him on TS. Majority say he is an excellent coach for Elite athletes. You are obviously the same McLean parent who posts about Bethesda over and over again. “Emotionally abusing” is your key identifier and everyone here knows it.

KL had no control of the 04s. He does not even coach them. Yep, the 05s are having a tough year. It happens. The players I know that have left are bench players, just like your DD. That is why you are so but hurt and feel justified because she starts for a lesser McLean team. Funny thing is your DD never even played for KL so you have no idea wtf you are talking about.

We don’t go around posting in Mclean or FCV threads so stay out of ours.

Appreciate your response to the OP, seems like one of many disgruntled parents. However, Kevin has been the '04 head coach for 2 years now, he took that team over after Shannon left. On the new couple coming in, this has not sat well with some of the current coaches as they were blindsided....so I am sure there is already resentment and they have not even moved here yet. Players as well did not know anything until they say their Instagram feeds. Very poor communication and explanation to the Bethesda community. I hope Jonathan can get this ship pointing in the right direction. We have had some great experiences with our son in the past.

I get the impression that none of the coaches were aware of who they were coaching.

The existing coaches did not know. They were just told “you won’t have your current team” and found out when the list was sent on Monday.

What sad, lonely person feels the need to write this.

Maybe we should change the subject to something less controversial...



How does everyone feel about masks?

Nah bruh. FVC is good 'n' all but CYA is charging hard. Merged with SYA. Looking to take top spot in CCL this year at several age groups. Definitely the up and coming club. Abbot and Dillpickle are the team to watch.
