You are proving my point. You throw lines out there like their should be a goal scorer these last year and that they are that good. They are not. And 90% of the girls are fine...it is you and your dear daughter that can't handle that she isn't playing. And clearly having the kids lead a meeting after the bus ride is your twisted idea of verbal abuse. My duaghter said he never raised his voice corroborated by several others. You are just a bitter jerk. Sorry your girl isn't Mia and sorry you have created a life of entitlement in sports for your kid.

And to boot he told everyone from day one it was a 5 year process. How do I know? Because I actually listen to what he said in the past 3 pre-season meetings that he held. They are way better this year than last even with poor goaltending even if you don't want to acknowledge that. Next year is the year he has said they will be in the mix and I personally think he is right on target.

I don't know about the rest of you, but please let us know when the next game is. I fully plan on attending just to watch the sidelines. This could be solid YouTube material.

Not really. You'll see a team that is just ok and a coach urging them on like any other team.

Shame on you. Getting on a forum and bashing teenage athletes brings you to an all time low.
The only issue here is that the coach has bullied this team, verbally & emotionally, for at least 2 seasons now. Parents of younger players you are in no position to be defending him when your daughters haven't been subjected to what ours have been. Even though this season appeared to be moving in the right direction it was inevitable that things would begin to unravel & they have.
He through a temper tantrum, again, on Tuesday. Dropping several F-bombs, belittling & degrading the players, whipping waterbottles and nearly hitting a player in the head with it, whipping his back pack - he's supposed to be leading by example.
The girls on the field weren't subjected to his rant bc he addresses the bench so that the crowd won't hear him. His antics started before the game even started, escalated at half time & continued post game. The girls did not lead the post game mtg. He ranted as usual & a only a few chimed in. None speak freely out of fear of retaliation.
There are clearly younger girls whom he favors and I can appreciate you wanting to defend him but please pause for a moment & try to appreciate where those of us who have had our daughters destroyed by him feel about him. Fortunate for you & your daughters, you haven't been subjected to it.

Thank you to the person who wrote this.

Last year is just repeating itself. The older girls knew it was just a matter of time.

The bottom line here is that this coach has neither the patience nor emotional maturity to succeed in coaching HS girls soccer. He cannot function in an environment where he does not have a talented group of players where he can just roll out the ball and take credit for their success. Last year's team was a rebuilding year and he gave up right out of the gate. The team ended up being coached by two injured players while he mostly sat on the bench and sulked. If a player got hurt on the field he would show annoyance at having to get up and go out on the field. If it was his star player he'd sprint out there.

No, too busy drumming up Larry Flynt quotes to motivate his team on Facebook.

Both of you guys are full of it. No instances of bullying proven in meetings. All being done by players who don't play. One of his biggest detractors last year has been defending him in the meeting. You figure out what is going on!!! Players not playing are upset. You know it and so do all the freshman, sophomores and juniors...and most of the seniors. Mom just stay out of it and let your daughter live her own life bc clearly you adjust throw out a bunch of stuff that's not true. You give yourself away because there is a running joke that he can't sit on the bench and not coach...including last year. Why? Because they time him and joke with him about it. Again sorry little Mia isn't good enough to play.

Meh, my HS coach used to throw tantrums all the time. It was funny.

He'd be walking along the sideline, and he'd do this little shuffle thing. His face would twitch, and he'd let loose.

Heaved his clipboard once at the fence behind the bench. We all ducked, barely skimming over our heads. It was hilarious.

The game ended, we went home, ate dinner. Did our homework. The sun set, we slept, the sun rose, and we got ready for school. Life moved on.

Shame on you. The players absolutely lead the meeting. And all said in the meeting he didn't raise his voice during that meeting. Funny you don't mention that he through his backpack to the exit and went back to help the girl that got hurt. Everything has been fine as you admitted. You just can't handle having someone tell your child to work harder. I guess he only swears at away games because the AD are at the other games. Just drumming up nonsense. Guarantee that if they voted it would be 20-5 in favor...just like last year. And just like the previous year when the whole senior class loved him as noted by all the visits at games etc. I don't agree with everything he does but that is with every coach.

I think you folks ought to head over the the CT board and bone up on the Wilton soccer fiasco.

Now, THAT's a thread. You have a long way to go to catch up to them.

Meanwhile back at the ranch.... Some good games yesterday. Bedford takes down a really talented team in Exeter and Central does the same with Concord. Bedford versus Londonderry this week and Central versus Exeter and Londonderry should shape D1 for the playoffs.

There is no JV team at Derryfield and everyone makes varsity so she didn't take anyone's spot. Maybe she agreed to stay on as long as she could to help out the team for as long as possible. You don't know the situation so you are speculating as much as I am.

Seems this is as magnanimous as was made out to be. She had her goal-scoring streak broken, then the next game walked off the pitch and refused to go back in.

Play was all about "give it to her" and her screaming at teammates.

I had a much different impression of her play than that.

Probably better for the program to have her leave, sad as that sounds.

This girl needs to get a restraining order against you. You clearly have a problem dredging up old comments to harass her again. Get a life. You have no idea what you are talking about.

She is going overseas to play and didn't want to quit right before playoffs. Give the team a chance to play without her.
