Hey Coach – here are a few items to address…
Which you can – one by one please, it will be easy for you as I numbered them for you…
(1) It was a tryout with a convicted felon. One who is banned from youth soccer on all levels. He wrote letters to teen girls from his jail cell. You didn’t even talk to your girls parents, simply badgered your players on numerous occasions, that the tryout was an important opportunity, which would be important to their HS soccer careers… Best part is the flat denial to the AD when confronted, and you lied to him, your boss… Because this is a fire-able offense
(2) So, is it poaching when you constantly tell a few of your HS players that they need your coaching abilities to “go to the next level”? So much so, that said girls literally try to avoid having one on one conversations with you because they know it will eventually lead to how important it is that the girl goes to VE tryouts. The girls said it was a weekly discussion, well actually a one way discussion. Best part is the flat denial to the AD when confronted, and you lied to him, your boss… Because this is also a fire-able offense.
(3) True, it ended up that you didn’t need to step down as coach of u16gVE, but don’t you wonder why not even one – not one - of your Lamphere girls came to your tryouts, not even the three (one varsity and two jv) that played for you last Spring. If your team respected, liked, played so hard for you, and you are such a good coach, why did they all run from you? Can you explain this interesting behavior?
(4) Why have all the girls that have been coached by you say that you are not a good coach? They say that all you do is tell them how bad they are, and what they have done wrong, and that they haven’t been coached right in the past, and that they can’t do this right and can’t do that right, and are selfish, and can’t finish, and the criticisms go on and on – yet not one of the girls can say what you have taught them about the game. Interesting.
You definitely can take them to the next level… lol
(5) These girls have progressed under the training and coaching they have received and have chosen over you. They started in MYSL and progressed to MSP and progressed from classic divisions to P2. These girls under the coaching and training of a “nice” guy who never played the game, have never been moved down a division and have beaten numerous teams ranked/rated higher than them. They have done quite well under the coaching and training of someone who gets NO MONEY for what he does – NO MONEY WHATSOEVER. Unlike yourself, who gets quite a bit of money for what? For lying to parents who write the checks to you… For telling your students they suck… Great mentor… Awesome motivator… very funny though
(6) Just the fact that there are good soccer players (one was your second on your team in points, and another was forth in points) that are going to play softball next year – because you are coaching the team. They told me that if ANYONE else was coaching, – the math teacher, the bus driver, the janitor – they would play soccer. Yet they plan to play softball simply because you are the coach. This is not just one or two BUT FOUR OR FIVE players from last year, THREE OR FOUR VARSITY STARTERS!!! Does this not tell you how bad of a coach or at least how much these players do not respect you? And will not play for you?
here's how to do it:
keep them in mysl, mix the awesome u11's to roster up, duel roster the mspsp players, grab some outstanding usl house players, poach ----ooooops I mean "recruite" the aosy players that play at Whispering Woods, pack em tight, here they come.
you can hear the chant....scraps....scraps...Scraps....SCraps.....S CRaps.....SCRAPs....SCRAPS....sCRAPS....scRAPS.... .scrAPS.....scraPS.....scrapS....
and the chant dies down,
who am i kiddin? and another ones gone and another ones gone
