Same with winning. Once you get past the "winning matters" mindset it gets a lot clearer and easier.

Whining is under appreciated.

This article doesn't describe TT's style of play at all. Try again.

I think the poster mean the article talks about the coach, not the style.

Create in their young teams a fear of separation, a feeling that they must stay together because of their incredibly unique bond, or their special potential. These feelings are also used to isolate players and parents from conflicting information and different experiences so that they don’t even consider looking outside of this fake Shangri-La

wow, now we are really reaching, unless you've been in the team huddle and witnessed this? However, don't most 12-13 year old girls on a well jelled soccer team that's been together for a couple of years, feel that they have a unique bond and special potential?

The fake Shangri-La for TT was probably the old club. No one wanted to leave until the club began bullying/lying to the parents. We were presented with options and most felt more comfortable with the new club option. Its kind of telling that the 3 who didn't join TT also left the club.

You may have made the same decision for your kid given the same circumstances.

Why are you interested when it has nothing to do with you? Crazy much?

You want crazy? The 02's from the 2001 thread are moving over here. They are up in their new rooms unpacking and will be down shortly. They are moving in and here to stay. It's about to get fun. World class, elite level bloggers that will post here night and day.

No they don't. Most realize that the best 2-3 will leave them behind very soon.

Can't wait to have Thusc mom and FC dad here as well as the driver of the General, flat tires and all.

Both OPL teams have played more games so yes they will be higher in the standings, and I don't think anyone is "rethinking" having the top teams all together, it's better for everyone.

Gotta look at how points they've dropped, not how many games played. Those teams that have played fewer games still have to win to move up. And that's far from a given.

Looks like a couple of TA teams should be in Silver instead of Gold. Guess the only reason they're there is because they are TA.

The only reason they are gold is two teams moved down, one by request one by punishment for bailing on their club
