oh, and cancelled practice for the second straight week - hopefully you star parents are getting some kind of rebate or credit on your annual fee

Cancelled before the trip to Indiana showcase? That can’t be true.

I do think there is a serious issue with SM and his mental health. I too have friends that were on his teams last year and or are still there this year. Luckily 3 players escaped his grasp and landed on blue this season. Also fortunately the regional white has a different coach this year than SM.
I hope he gets help. But I agree with the poster above. The parents of these players IMO are a bit to blame for 1. Not reporting him. 2. Continuing to put their kid in that environment. It’s not ok that any of the adults, parents and coach, and owner allow this to continue just to say their kid is on a National team. That’s a lot of ego.

they turn a blind eye and let their kids get berated for the honor of the ECNL badge - been going on for years

These are some pitiful. All I hear is who is winning and who is losing. How about development. None of your children will be professional soccer players. I don't care if they're on the blue, red, pink, etc.. team
Parents, go back to your jobs, and stay at home mom's go to yoga class.

Hey bitter dad, just because your kid didn't make it doesn't mean other kids won't make it. I know that thought is intolerable, but just try to relax and take your meds.

This is the first time I've actually believed SM posts on this forum.

You have proved to TS, that most of you on here are desperate and living a pipe dream. SO SAD!!

Nice deflection. Has nothing to do with the treatment of players.

Such bitterness. Take your meds, please.

So that's 2 weeks in a row of no practice, if the posts on this thread are true? Why does any parent put up with this lunatic?

Because parents are so desperate hoping their daughters get a soccer scholarship which maybe and just maybe .01 will play at that level.
In case you didn't know colleges also offer academic scholarships, and by the way the average salary of a NWSL player is around 60k. That isn't enough to make up for all the money you have spent chasing the pipe dream.

But but but didn’t you see??? One player going to Duke and one going to UNC?! Does t that justify verbal abuse, and cancelling practices? Isn’t it ok to put your kid in that situation?
