GPS gossip

I have it on good authority that GPS do not promote taking coaching courses to their coaches, nor do the reimburse the course registration fees. They are one of the only local clubs not to support and invest in the growth of their coaches. I wonder why they have such a high turnover?!

All the good coaches move on, the poor ones go back to Europe and the coaches that don’t mind selling BS stay under the Bradleys.

Poor club all round

Every sport changes over time. Soccer is no different.

Of course scoring more than the opponent is the goal, but how that is done of course changes.

The fact that you mention "very few positional variations" is telling. Heck, teams drastically change their positioning from half-to-half, never mind year-to-year or, since it's "inception"

GPS is now managed by an equity group and don't understand the game.

Bolts are only in it for money.

Not true! Bradley brothers still run GPS, but it is owned by Legacy Sports out of Portsmouth, NH.

100% correct. My daughter now has a new coach at GPS and all he does is yell but yell absolute nonsense. ‘run faster’ & ‘work harder’ & ‘what are you doing’! Awful coach but thankfully the end is in sight. On the flip side, we used to have a coach at GPS (before this screamer) and although he didn’t scream and yell, he had no people skills and looked like he was ready to fall asleep at any point! Truly awful coaches.

I do wonder if any of the GPS coaches are forced to do their badges and keep up with the forever changing game? My guess would be not, as this would be an added expense and the support of someones development!

I call BS on this one.

The real simpletons are all the parents who believe their kid can actually play the game.
And then spend lots of money trying to make it so.

Why doesn’t everyone play the piano?

"OWNED" - Bradleys now answer to Legacy Sports leadership. They do not "run" GPS like before. Decisions are now made with the bottom line of Legacy Sports in mind ....

Don't be so naive

Because Piano's are too expensive; soccer isn't. :)

Yes but there's also plenty of bad coaches out there and clubs willing to take parent's checks when they shouldn't

I could buy a decent piano with the money GPS has siphoned out of us.

This is ridiculous. Some of the gps top team boys coaches are superb and if you watch those teams play you wouldn’t be able to argue it. Stop using threads to lie, it’s boring. Go watch a game and decide for yourself

Absolutely true - you must be one of the Bradleys or a GPS apologist.

The number of pay to stay/play tournaments has grown exponentially, as has the fees for uniforms since the original MPS days.
