Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHow about a high school soccer coach who's only achievements have been in high school soccer, not in club? Coach K at Mitchell HS! What a complete idiot! He has the best talent year in and year out, yet every year he finds a way to get his team beaten in the Sweet 16. The girl's laugh each year about their joke of practices and tactics during games. He really hits his "prime" during the HS playoffs each year. They roll through districts each year then hit the wall when they play a competitive team. He never makes changes and is just happy with winning districts each year. Totally overrated!
It's only HS soccer !!! Let your kid enjoy playing with their classmates as teammates in front of their classmates!

If the talent is there as you state then the players should be able to get done - don't blame the coach!

And you all are paying MORE $$ for this. How does someone whose PERSONAL highest level of athletic achievement become a coach of a "distinguished" group of kids - where parents are clamoring to pay more to have their boys coached by him? And - note - his teams have a well-documented history of getting worse by the end of the season. The answer screams loudly as to why his judgment appears to be contrary to other coaches who have a history of athletic success.
High School soccer - come on, that's not an achievement. And why doesn't he coach his teams in his own town? There is a DA where he's from -maybe the parents of kids there are too well-informed or have too many good choices than to play for someone who wasn't accomplished in his own right as a player. Who knows - but what is known is that this coach was not a successful athlete and is not a successful coach. Maybe it is because he speaks with an accent and is fluent in Spanish that parents believe he must know soccer and is worth the extra money for a regression in development? So, I couldn't be happier that my son plays select - at least the coach there doesn't pretend to be something more than he is - and we don't pay more for the privilege of being coached by an unaccomplished coach!
Long live mediocrity! Teach our sons to be a successful as you! Ha ha ha ha ha...............

You don't need to have been a successful athlete to be a coach. In fact, many who were successful athletes are not good coaches. Yet, the point you raise about an established history of failures is disturbing. If it is true that the teams do not get better, it seems that maybe the coach is not good. To have not been successful as an athlete and to have a history of being unsuccessful with the teams, maybe he just ins't a good a coach?
For those whose sons have played on his team, does he tell you that he doesn't care about winning or losing? That winning is not his goal -- he cares only about long term development? Maybe someone who was never a winner himself and has a proven record of losing gives that spin to start with because the outcome he expects is to lose. Why would you pay for that?
