Clyde is a pathological liar. Please don't compare. L is a great coach and person.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Clyde is one of the most honest, humble and professional coaches in all of youth soccer. He's respected and trusted by top college coaches throughout the country and one of the main reasons why McLean continues to have the successful college placement that it does.

CW is awesome but please stop talking about college placement. College placement, college placement, college placement, we get it. But when are we going to talk about the ugly side of that placement?

Not knocking kids here but How many times have we seen McLean place D2 level kids into Major D1 colleges? And then 1 year later those kids are either in the portal or thinking about quitting because they are the 27th player on their roster? But thats not important.

Eat those orange slices, Suzie…it’s halftime.

How is that the club's fault what the hell? Pretty sure any kid would take a D1 offer over a D2 regardless of where they think they are at

I doubt this happens very much at all. Kids go intot he portal for lots of reasons. Not on club.

Did he email BRYC and VYS families too?

Why is the Technical Director at GFR sending out emails like that to Mclean ECNL families...that seems wierd..I guess GFR does care about girls youth soccer just not at their own club

Getting real desperate. Parents seeing through the BS that is NM. How is he not in violation of conflict of interest. No other club would allow you to be TD of another club and coach in another. McLean is a joke. LW and CW gettting paid by NM to allow him to do whatever he wants. Someone nont should look into this.

This is soccer not government contracts. There is no such thing conflict of interest.

Soccer is one big community where coaches can coach multiple team in different club

They can also do private training or own a company to training

If their goal is to play they shouldn’t. But you know McLean needs to inflate those numbers.

The club is supposed to assist them in getting them to the appropriate college level.

And a stupid email at that.

NM never misses a chance to take a shot at the boys side. Saying negative things about coaches to parents is not a good look. Those teams are part of your club too.

The last part of that email was really interesting. ‘If anyone has attended another ID session or is thinking about it and has not talked to their coach, I encourage you to reach about before making a decision.’

If anyone knows how NM has dealt with these situations in the past then I highly advise you to not say anything. Besides, they already know this information anyway. You can’t continuously brag about the quality of your program and in the same breath try to control what every family does. What some might call a strategic move to retain players sounds like a lack of confidence on Mclean’s part.

Ask around. Ask some of the McLean alum parents how NM has treated McLean players after finding out they attended other ID sessions. That dog house is real.

+1 Sounds like someone is sour grapes about their kid.

Perhaps a coincidence but it’s not a good look…

MYS just changed the date of the town hall.

MYS leadership reads this board.

Confirmed.

When my kids were younger, there was an Arlington coach that did this. Ratted kids out and a few got blackballed.

It was sick. Parents are paying $3-5k—they should routinely check for fit and see what’s out there.

If you are doing your job, you’d welcome competition and be confident your players will stay.

This is not unique to Arlington. All the coaches rat out any players to their current coaches.

It's usually other parents on your team that tell the coach if your kid is trying out or guesting at other clubs.

Of course, rats. They even lie about it. All to position their kid in a better place.

As a coach, if a parent were coming up to me to rat out other players---they'd be on 'my list'. Not in a good way.

The true irony is the rat parent think this helps them---but they are just as susceptible to being knifed in the back by the same Coach/Club.

There is zero loyalty in youth soccer. None. Don't for a second trust anyone. Play your cards close to your chest and always have back-up option.

You have been warned

You are welcome. This wisdom was passed down generations in my family.

That bolded part should be a sticky that goes at the very top of the soccer front page.
