    I admit it, I am obsessed with the Academy, it's my life

    I just can't help it. It's taking me over. I can't stop posting about them. My daughter's ECNL team won't talk to me so I have to post about something. The doctor told me to keep sharp objects out of my hands too. I need to think calm things. A babbling brook. A warm sunrise with birds chirping. Anything to keep me from hurting myself.

    My dd was obsessed with it, because she plays on the team. Slightly disappointing results, ah well, live and learn.

        Because they might not win it. Wouldn't that be a great recruiting tool?

          And here you are. Obsessed. How's that NWCL working out for ECNL. Oh wait, not so good. A league weaker than FWRL and our ECNL teams can't win in it. Wow. And fourth place in nw ECNL division. Wow.

            Doesn't change the facts about how much of a failure the Thorns Academy experiment has been. Feel bad for the kids that wasted a year playing TE bootball against nobodies (and still not winning)

              Look we know that ECNL has been rough for the younger ages but it will get better. They've have lost most of their games but it has been a good bonding experience. It will get better if allowed to continue.

                I hope it gets better. Fraser plays everyone equal time regardless of who has earned time or not. I guess he's afraid of losing the bottom players by giving them the time they've earned. Tom is playing his U14s to death. Afraid if he doesn't get them in a tournament or doesn't play for a couple of weeks thy might lose some of his teachings. Burnout? Never. U16s are seeing players quit in droves. U17s are all injured. Plus a total of what two? girls have received offers during the year? Wow. Stellar. Far from the 90% advertised.

                    Nope. And there are some still with the team who are really pissed. Not a good atmosphere right now. Tom is promoting some more than others.

                        No denials so must be true. At least Tom is consistent. Year after year.

                          Consistently says no to your daughter. Get over it and move on.

                            You mean you and he are consistently obsessed with the academy. Maybe they can get a joint restraining order for you both. Wouldn't be Toms first one and I doubt they are. Anything new to you. Do you both register together as sex offenders?

                              Of course the girls are not going to be happy. Atencio openly promotes hatred within his squad of players. If he see's girls happy he cuts the head off the happy snakes and keeps the bad apples. He has no interest in promoting life lessons to these young ladies. One bigger question though is what will become of OPL now he is the President? He has not got a good track record when it comes to bright ideas. The Timbers and Atencio are the root cause of the demise in youth soccer so there will be no chance of merging now.
