    Look no further than the Thorns Academy when looking for coaches who body shame and play mental games with your players. Surprised someone hasn’t sued them yet over the mental harm everyone is subjected to at that club.

      Girls / Womens soccer, everybody wants a trophy. How about putting down the Big Mac and running a few laps?

          How is it disgusting? Explain why you think fitness is not a requirement of being a soccer player? If your not fit there are other sports for you. Wrestling comes to mind.

            There's a difference between insisting on proper fitness, and being verbally abusive.

              So telling a player they are overweight, or fat is abusive? It is fat this is causing the problem

                  Coaches can tell players they're not fit without being abusive. Please share what you experienced.

                    This. On any subject, it's possible to criticize without being offensive.

                    Lots of old school fools here in this forum, who think that being an authority entitles one to be an a55hole.

                        You're not anywhere near as fat as me.But you still are too fat to play for me. Until you lose some pounds and get fit.

                        This is straight from the investigative transcripts.

                          What club or clubs did that coach come from?

                            "You are too fat to play" is right on the border of acceptable. "Overweight" might be a better term, and better yet would be reference to some objective standard of fitness--"you can't run three miles without staggering at the end and being all out of breath", "your BMI (body mass index) is too high", etc. OTOH, it's not outright abusive like calling a player a pig. And it also matters where such advice is delivered--private criticism is better to be received than public.

                            And the weight of the coach shouldn't matter--coaches aren't athletes.

                              Coaches that obese, aren't athletes fair point and logical.

                                "you're too fat to play" is nowhere near acceptable. I would pull my kid immediately if a coach said that too them. Objective measures make sense, though not BMI. Based on BMI Derrick Henry is obese. No one is going to say he's too fat to play. And "you can't run three miles without staggering..." isn't really objective either. 3 miles in 30 minutes is. Or 100m in 15 seconds, etc.
