Think DG wanted KL to raise the bar of the program. The messages going out - including from DG - are often driven by KL

DG is now coaching U12 and U13 rather than U13 and U14 lead coach.

He is the director for ECNL. This past year he started being the coach for 2 teams, ended up being the coach on 4 teams. Went to other games. Next year 4 Teams officially. A bit of a crazy workaholic. That has its plus and minus points.

He is director of the older group (U15 and above), and not the entire girls program. Why is everyone so stuck on one coach to be the savior when he is not a TD, ED or DOC? There is only so much he has control of, while the usual suspects are still calling the shots like before.

Hes the ECNL Director across all girl age groups. Catch up bro.

Trust me, hes calling a lot of the shots right now.

So you're implying KL is calling the shots over DG who is not only on the BOD, but also the U14 and younger Director.

And by the way, JC is the person over the entire girls program. These are all alpha males.

Maybe that changed in the last few years after we left, but when we were there, Alex called all the shots. They also coached the older Coyote team who won the National Championship around that time, and Alex was main coach then too. They were both great coaches (in the technical sense) and my DD has amazing skills thanks to them. They were definitely not for everyone, though and my DD has been much happier at another club - she plays other sports and needed more of a balance. KL is probably going to have a lot of success at BSC. I just wanted to add some context since I feel like KL is getting all the credit for the MRM Coyote success and this is not really the case.

I seriously don't know what else a coach can do.

His national title came when all the best teams played in the ECNL so nope you are wrong. That same team with the addition of many top players didn’t even make the ECNL Playoffs!!

Shows you know next to nothing but since you are a Bethesda parents you likely you believe you know more than the coaches. Hence, the #1 problem with Bethesda is the parents. That team had several girls who were considered the best in the region with more than a half dozen going on to major DI programs including GUm BC, Col, Cor, LH and Cin. Consider that several of those players were all conference selections and one has been called up to national team camp. Now how many BSC seniors are playing for major schools in the Fall? Again, I am not knocking Bethesda's players but it just seems ludicrous that anyone coming from Bethesda has the nerves to try to question KL's track-record. Also, ECNL was not the today's ECNL when KL's team won a national title. Back then, there were many strong women's teams that were not in ECNL including Pipeline and SAC.

"Hence, the #1 problem with Bethesda is the parents." You got that right. It's a minority of them for sure, but they make the most noise and deeply entrenched with the "old" man's backing.

That is incorrect. Maryland United and McLean were there before, and cleaned house years ago to be what they are today - board and all. Parents have no say and not able to manipulate coaches because they have no friends in high places anymore. Coaches are allowed to coach - period.


When a club lacks leadership and direction, the parents fill the void. When a club (or any business/company) is focused on its purpose with clear direction with strong leadership, they produce great products. When they routinely produce great products that are D1 caliber/talented kids, everyone shuts up especially the parents. The power never shifts to the parents because they will all have the fear of missing out. Bethesda parents is no different than any other club parents. So blaming the parents is completely wrong.

(I am not a current or former BSC parent, but just an astute observer.)
