to the poster - as you can see there's lots of aholes on this site who think it's ok for a coach to scream and holler and suck the love of the game out of a player. It isn't, especially if they're younger than high school age. If you're asking for advice you probably deep down already know the answer. Since it's mid season you'll probably have to stick it out so try and help your daughter find ways to cope with him. Be objective and see if there are certain things she needs to work on. Maybe he will actually get better. But early spring start looking at alternatives for next year.

Must be some sorry loud mouth coaches on here. Find a better teacher if the current one is not skilled enough to teach without that nonsense.

I don’t know what level of play we are talking about here but parents who think everything is negotiable with coaches are wrong, and part of the problem with competitive soccer. I agree if he has to yell so much there is a problem but I believe it probably is a two way street. And if a parent is asking for advice here, maybe they need to be able to absorb some criticism or feedback contrary to their self-serving ideas...maybe like the player in the OP.
