BC woman’s soccer

[Unregistered]

Let’s face it. This is the the worst loss by a BC Women’s Soccer program that has been on a downward spiral for years. And we have yet to find the bottom. Stay tuned.

We??? Were you on the field?

Didn't you see BC parents running up and down the sidelines? Lol

Same goofballs that wanted club wins over development. I realize this is not club and wins are the focus, but let kids learn to play together at game speed. Deep breaths.

This is insane and embarrassing for these players. Why are the parents still this heavily involved in their adult children’s’ extracurriculars at this point? Time to cut the cord and let the young ADULTS leave the nest. Time to get a life and stop meddling.

Heavily involved? So what, you drop off your kid at college and just drive away?

Maybe the young adults are upset. Maybe they want to move on. Maybe the parent is mad because they expected better. When they signed NLI, most young ones are not adults. They are not 18.

Maybe the parent knows their child could have been talked out of it; maybe should have been. Maybe parent feels guilty thinking they all made correct decision. Maybe the parent knows it was not. Maybe they are figuring out next step.

Whatever the age, you should be involved in your kid to make sure he or she is okay.

Parents never stop. When you stop caring about your kids, you stop being a parent.

I forgot to add, it is not unusual to have all of these experiences, but just do it. No need to blast it out on TS. May feel relief, but does not solve the decisions both of you need to make.

You mean the same parents that did what ever was needed to get the kids to club or multiple clubs. The same who spent crazy funds on their child so he or she can play the sport and travel all around. The same who took them to camps, visited schools, took tours at various campuses, attended club games, attended games since they were u littles. The same who made sure after the games they made their proms or other extracurricular activities. And more; much more.

Stop being involved? Ain't gonna happen.

I am losing respect for the New England sports journal. JL is a fake, a fraud and should not be a head coach of an ACC D1 program. He has taken a program to new lows under his watch. I was not a fan of AF either but at least she had an eye for talent, could not coach it but was able to get great players to play. He is about to be with out any of her players and you see the writing on the wall. They are not good, especially losing to URI 3-2. He needs to do the right thing for BC Wonens soccer program and resign before the end of the spring season.

And that folks is the helicopter parent in action. Being an ear to listen to problems is certainly part of parenting, but at this point folks, it is their life. They could have enlisted in the military and shipped off to a warzone at this point. They can vote. They can live their lives and deal with consequences of their choices.

We are always there for our kids but have left them to their own devices in college (high school pretty much too). They need to figure it out on their own, even if the means experiencing a few failures. You learn from your mistakes.. Many people look puzzled that all of our kids went/are going to schools far away. Because they want to? Crazy idea. They know it's good to experience different things - but they also know we're always here for them too. I know some parents that literally said "we wouldn't let Grayson look at anything more than 3 hours away". What?

Also my spouse works at a local college and can attest Helicopter/snowplow parenting is very much a thing. Some of these kids can't even do their own laundry. Phone calls from parents to professors happen. It's not a lot but there absolutely is a subset who can't stop managing their kids because they can't let go.

So having a conversation about moving to another school, which happens a lot as kids move all the time is now they should be doing of this on their own? Hahaha okay.
Most people of all ages took for advice before big life decisions, this is no different.

Don't they need to be 18 yo join military? To sign an NLI you don't need to. To commit to a school, you are not 18. Something to be said about waiting.
