I suppose you could "move" your Senior Night game to another game that allows you for an easy win. But what if that winnable game is like a game that is still in early October and you have an additional 3 home games against strong opponents?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI had a player once who I attempted to put into the game in the first half with about 5 minutes left. A sub on the bench who was also a senior. I was trying to give a long halftime rest to another player who had really worked out there for the entire half. When I called her to come up, she looked at the clock and asked me, "What's the point?". I told her to return to the bench.
With about 15 minutes left in the game, she approached me as asked me if I was going to put her in the game. I asked her, "What's the point?".
Life lesson for her. Never had an issue with her again about playing time. And she did play in her Senior Night game.

[QUOTE=Unregistered;2360405]The reason coaches are being jumped these days is because of the culture...what it has become. When I was a kid, to play a full season of baseball it cost my parents $17 plus an additional $10 for one uniform we wore. Our coach was a parent, not paid, and we respected him, and never challenged him or hesitated when he said run or slide.
In contrast, parents today are being told the reason they're having to pay $2k a season for kickball is because of coaching fees and misc. But it doesn't end there. Mega DA and ECNL clubs have their uniform contracts, every 2 years were dumping $500 on 5 different shirts, 2 different shorts, 3 different socks. Then there's the tournament fees, coach's travel fees, and your travel, hotel expenses. At the end of a soccer season you're looking at almost $4k in expenses...and you suddenly realize your league is poaching kids from California to take your kid's position at ECNL nationals.
This is what we have these days. And when coaches, leagues don't deliver, parents get angry.[/QUOTE
Agree 100%. When parents are spending that kind of money they have right to ask questions and demand quality. If coaches can’t handle that coach rec soccer and do something else. As a premier coach it comes with territory.

Who do you let go when your total number that comes to tryouts is less than 40 and you have to support both a full varsity and JV program?
It's like poker, you have to play the hand dealt you every time.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTo some extent yes, but a good high school coach at an S or M school can make his hand stronger by volunteering to coach the 7/8th grade travel teams in his town and by encouraging his players to play in the Spring , but so many HS coaches are too lazy to do this.

people dont respect one another, the environment, vets, or the president. Why would we expect they respect coaches?
