2010 Girls

[Guest]

“I heard it had nothing to do with "coaching younger girls", it was a good percent of the 2010 and a couple 2011 parents he had no interest in being associated with any longer. Change was needed for all involved.”

^^^ exactly
He had enough of 2011 and 10s parents. (Especially the 11s)
Was great with the kids though. Club may have said he didn’t want to coach young kids to save reputation but losing a top coach, but like KW leaving, it was all parents.

NEFC 2010 and 2011 parents obnoxious. They think their kids are “studs” and “ballers.” They drove away a coach and a few good players who had enough.

Yes. After PW leaves, the club isn’t going to tell parents that he left because you people suck. No business wants to piss off its customer base like that.

It was 3/2011s thinking they should play up (2 did not belong) and at least a half dozen 10s that were on him daily, not to mention their general sideline behavior. I think you meant to say, "especially the 10s". It has been well documented on multiple threads.

Heh, you're back huh? Hate them parents so much. Its not healthy, bro. Just move on already.

"well documented on multiple threads" = you bitched about it all over the place.

Hoping the volume makes 1 angry person sound like a crowd. You're just embarrassing yourself further. Move on.

You can make your lists if that pleases you. At the end of the day, the ratings between ECNL and GA teams are not relevant as they don't play each other in any scenario that matters.

Stars White is currently behind Blue. Scorpions is behind White. Feel free to compare yourselves to NEFC or SSS if that helps you. It won't change the fact that Blue is taking your spot at the big boys table. And even if you're better than NEFC, you aren't taking their spot at the GA playoffs where college scouts are attending in far greater numbers/quality than your 3rd tier Showcase cup A/B.

If you're not Blue or NEFC (or SSS in certain age groups), then you've really missed the boat.

Solid team at NEFC, but definitely no game changers at all (maybe the new SSS striker). None of them would propel Blue any higher as Blue is already #1 in Mass, maybe make their bench a bit stronger though.

And yet KM tried so hard to pull 4-5 NEFC girls to replace those on Blue.
And if you do get PW as a coach, he'll try as well.

KM and all coaches know that recruiting is a numbers game. Looks like Blue cut 2 players. So then the 5 NEFC kids were recruited to take the place of those 2, knowing full well that statistically he would never get all 5. Maybe 2 of those 5 would have been potential starters the others were just better than the alternative. Would they have been better than a couple other kids on blues’s bench and have led to more cuts? Who knows? I wonder if any of them will regret declining a year or two from now.

He’s been the assistant since KM got the boot, likely no more to it then that.

PW’s heart wasn’t in to coaching younger girls and NEFC wisely had him move on as a result - find it hard to believe a change of attitude that quickly would be something I would want to bank on personally…

You're wrong both about the context for PW leaving NEFC and about his role at Stars. He's confirmed as head coach for 2010 Blue.

Personally I don't care either way, but the stars '10 national Blue players my D knows aren't aware of this new official coach.

It is wasn’t official until yesterday at some point. Stars has updated the website to say so.

NEFC 10’s will lose a few to blue if he is coach
in that case I would not agree with new ranking and would have blue 1 white 2

FWIW the soccer ranking app currently has:

1-Stars Blue
2-NEFC
3-Stars White.

Congrats to PW and the 2010 Blue team. He's a great guy and excellent coach.
