Unlike in soccer, where evaluation of talent is highly subjective, particularly at younger ages. Parents coaches can easily deflect away from their personal biases, and justify selections, right or wrong, with all the common catch phrases used by coaches "speed of play" "technical ability", etc. What they also do is form a tight bond with a select group of parents from within a team, which they typically use to encircle/shield their child. Parents within this group see what is going on but will not step-up for fearing of losing their place in the hierarchy. Go watch any of these parent coached/influenced teams, and you will see the little cliques. Go look at social media accounts of the parent coaches, and you will see the "likes" "shares" being consistently being applied by the clique to further reinforce their place within the hierarchy. The few that may speak-out are simply labeled as a disgruntled parents, and the charade continues.
Nailed it. It’s really sad how accurate this is for several local teams here.

Don’t think so. Regardless he’s already an improvement on the last two DOCs.
