Lamphere High School

Re: Lamphere High School

Believe me, they would do just as good as the guy calling the shots

Re: Lamphere High School

And it won't be a women because of the "Crazy Soccer Parent" doing the hiring!

Re: Lamphere High School

I guarantee someone from W A Z A - you know they are coming!

Re: Lamphere High School

That's cool. Kids' need a different voice anyway regardless of the drama, you have to move coaches around. If the players get a new voice every couple of years, they can apply severla good qualities taught to them and hopefully leave out the bad. I mean, it's all about the kids right ?

Re: Lamphere High School

In high school, coaches should be more concerned about their player's grades then their wins, by high school there is not much a coach can do but play his or her hand that is dealt them talent-wise, it is not like a high school coach can make the bad good or "Develop" them in a few weeks to become state champs! High school soccer coaches are successful based on the girls talents and where they have been developed elsewhere, hence, they should emphasize the importance of getting good grades, especially for those who have the talent of playing beyond high school. Colleges could care less about a great soccer player that can't meet the school's entrance requirements.

Re: Lamphere High School

Haha,

Thats funny. You must really be experienced in coaching I see. All a person has to do to be a successful soccer coach is just get better talent at this age? Is that what I am hearing?

I can't even begin to respond to this nonsense. This is what we are dealing with.

I'll tell ya the best soccer team to coach........the all orphan team. Get rid of the crazy coach/parents and you might have something..

Re: Lamphere High School

So what your saying is; all Lamphere needed two or three years ago was a better coach, who could have trained and developed those teams into a team that had more wins than losses? That is a ha-ha, you are the ignorant soccer person that doesn't realize this is impossible at the high school level. Then again, if you have had kids in soccer, and you have paid good money to train them, then you probably have been hoodwinked by those who took your money, getting you to believe they are the only ones out there with the experience and the knowledge to do this training and development. You maybe right that the best team would be one without meddlesome parents, but even better would be one that the head coach handles the team and the parents well, so there would be no meddlesome parents.

Re: Lamphere High School

this is totally true and whomever says coaches make a difference in high school is kidding themselves

by the time girls get to high school their soccer skills and smarts have been ingrained and are hard to change, their touches, usually the number of touches since the age of four, is the most important aspect a player or a coach of a player can hope for

sure a coach needs to recognize talent and know where talent is and how it should be positioned and utilized on the field (often overlooked and no doubt a sign of a poor coach who cannot do this)

the only problem is when a brainwashed (by soccer elitists of the community) is making decisions on who to hire to coach high school soccer girls, especially when they think their daughter is the next laura heyboer, this often clouds ones thinking, making one forget that state championships are for the private schools (with all the talent, not the greatest coaches, trainers, developers ha) and not the little Lampheres of the world, those doing the hiring begin to feel that their decisions will really make a difference!

we certainly did see their decisions made the difference on whether or not teenage girls ENJOYED their high school soccer experience, which seems to most the most important thing

Re: Lamphere High School

What are some of the attributes of a good girls varsity coach for a small div three school, in div 1 and 2 dominated macomb area conference, playing in the third div (blue) of that conference, with one who has hiring influence, who believes they are coming? What should they be looking for, and what are some of the pre requisites that are show stoppers, ie must be or must haves? My feeling is that there isn't that many requisites, due to the level of play?

What is wrong with this post? I totally agree! There is nothing in this statement that is wrong! Good high school coaches know that their top players are coming from club teams and have been developed else where. All he/she can do is to try to mesh the players/playing styles into a winable situation. He/she should also promote SAT scores and grades because that is what the college coaches will look at ....sorry dangling participle...College parent

Re: Lamphere High School

and you wonder why there is such craziness going on in the mich posts, my god, we have people in power that have the hiring power, that are the typical "my kid is the best soccer player around" mentality, and truly feel that a div three high school coach has to be one that has trained and coached national champions! Folks that are in charge of hiring a high school coach, which pays a convicted felon to train his own kids, a convicted felon which wrote inappropriate letters (court exhibits) to his former players.

Re: Lamphere High School

Okay, so I have read the above post three times and I still do not have a clue what the poster is saying. I know there are many in Michigan who weren't born in this country. Is that what is going on here or did someone take one too many ambiens before bedtime tonight?

Looks like Yoda was wrapping up a fifth of scotch and decided to write a bit of slosh-o-gramatical Jedi words.

Re: Lamphere High School

Ya, WTH kind of message is that above??? I started to think I was drinking - wow, my head hurts!

To the topic: High school coaches do not get the time to develop players period. They are lucking if they can even get their players to play the style\game that they want to play. The fact is the best high school teams possess the best talent that was trained outside in the clubs. The only thing a good high school coach can do is judge his talent and position them and manage the clock. The better coaches can motivate the team ... that is all, that is the limits of his job. The whole grade thing is another bull crap piece. What can the coach do other then threaten or sit players for bad grades, which should be a school policy already set in place. The coach can give the "you better get good grades" speech but that is his limit in that aspect (unless he is a tutor in many subjects). So the bottom line is a good high school coach has to be able to coach "not to lose" and to have the players enjoy their experience - maybe throw in a little motivational secrets and that is as far as you can go as a high school coach. Anyone believing different is kidding themselves.
