Sure is- but all of it from the last few days was completely avoidable had the main office made some different choices and communicated better. And whoever is responsible for piling on about Jeremy from your experience at Tysons can take it somewhere else because it’s irrelevant to what is happening now with GP.

Sorry but Jeremy is a terrible coach and should never be allowed to coach children. GP gets best behavior Jeremy because he’s been on notice. I don’t blame you for being fooled but getting rid of Jeremy is an extremely smart move for NCAP. [/quote]

Maybe you had a bad experience with Jeremy at TY. Since arriving at GP, brought in to save the GP site from another issue, he has connected well with a group of 9-12 year olds in the B1, some of which were in their first year of club since it is still an entry point. No coach is always going to be all sunshine and rainbows, but he calmly and clearly communicates what’s expected in practices, and the sets challenge the kids in a safe manner geared toward them getting improvements and being happy swimmers who take pride in the details. He gave them all positive, constructive and sometimes very detailed feedback after events, even if they gained or (very rarely) DQ. He is usually very chill and although the kids might say that Phil is more fun, he did make things fun for them this year. [/quote]

He was demoted and sent to GP for a reason. Just let that sink in. I’m glad that was the experience GP got because your kids deserve that treatment. But you can’t ignore that vast issues that eventually led to his removal. I can’t speak to Phil - that stinks. But NCAP is making a smart move removing Jeremy. Your kids are young, they will be completely fine getting a new coach. I don’t need to convince you and there is no need - he's gone. I just hope you get a new coach that is good deep down and not because they got in so much trouble they were forced to be good. [/quote]

I think everyone heard you of your horrible experience with Jeremy at TY. No need to repeat over and over here. [/quote]

Ok Jeremy [/quote]

You are a sad human being. Your kid probably had a bad experience because he's jerk and can't take feedback, just like his Dad. [/quote]

You sound a little worked up, buddy.

If this is all lies, then tell us DP what is the story?


Time will tell in that in a year, people will either feel like everyone overreacted…or not.

Hate to break it to you but you and GP aren’t the main character of the story either. It’s only ok for you and GP to talk about your experience and for everyone else to fall in line? At the end of the day, every swim club is a business. Swimmers will adjust. If you love your coach so much, follow them to their next venture.

GP isn’t the main character in a side conversation about 2 of their coaches being let go out of nowhere? The fact that your swimmer had a bad experience with one of the coaches previously doesn’t really mean anything to the people that have had a great experience this year.

Demoting sh*tty coaches then showing them the door is classic Ugast MO

Kyle M ruined AU and they tried to demote him but he had enough sense to quit

But not before two girls quit swimming all together bc he was so awful and another few moved teams - he really started the downfall of that site

NCap: You are awful and I hope all of this catches up with you one day
