FCSC new G99 team

Coaching high school. Anyone think it is a coincidence that her daughter will be entering high school in another year, and will now continue playing for her mom.

Aren't any openings in Vancouver that I'm aware of. Perhaps she'll be coaching at an Oregon HS...

So what?

If she can't coach a club team that has any of her high school players on it, then I guess that spells the end of FCSC '00 team since her daughter will be playing for her high school team. That's all.

She is only coaching club one more year.

Experience doesn't always equate to talent or ability.

If the plan is for the ex-Pacific coach is to help (or "assist") coach Tina'a team, that makes perfect sense because he's been a parent-coach to his daughter forever and probably expects to continue coaching her at a higher level, assuming she makes the A-team.

But where does that leave the rest of his old team?

How many parent coaches are able to put the collective best interests and development of the team ahead of that of his own child's?
I've known a very few coaches that were able to remain totally impartial, but at the premier level it's a big conflict of interest. Case in point.

My DD has had a parent coach at WashTFC for the past three years. He has done a great job at being impartial and has been instrumental in my DD's development. Maybe it's rare but we are happy

Parent coaches are ideally suited for volunteer roles at the rec and younger select levels. At older age levels in more advanced competition, they usually create internal problems.
Just my experience.

And the former Pacific FC coach is certainly not one of those to ever remain impartial. He was and is all about the development and promotion of his DD to the detriment of other talented players and team. It was a real conflict of interest at Pacific and contributed significantly to his involuntary departure.

And surely, the rest of the team and their parents recognize this. It was blatantly obvious. Why they would blindly follow him to Salmon Creek is the mystery.

There are a lot of soccer choices in Portland. Parents vote with their feet. If you see a coach that has a lot of parent and player support, there is probably a reason for that. There are disgruntled parents everywhere. Typically, they are the players that feel that their "shining soccer star" was underappreciated or underplayed. Before listening to any gossip or rumors, one should ask the gossiper how much playing time their child received. Typically, these parents' children weren't up to par with the level of the team and the parent blames the club, coach, doc, "soccer politics," other players, etc.

Tina is one example, she gets a lot of criticism on here. However, she always seems to have a full and successful team. People seem to be happy playing for her and she seemed positive and knowledgeable at PDP events. If we lived closer, I may consider her team.

Be careful about listening to the haters.

Can't argue with the logic. But more often then not "where there's smoke there's fire".
Thus, if there are more then just a couple vocal folks it would be wise to do some investigative work before joining the circus.

The soccer world is a mini lesson in Capitalism. The good coaches, the strong groups of parents and players, the solid clubs continue to form teams. Looking for these components is more important than hearsay.

This board seems to crucify any coach or DOC whose name is mentioned. Talking to current members of clubs and teams to find out true perceptions is invaluable.

Fcsc parents are knowledgable?! Ahhahahahahahahahahah

Full and successful? Who lied to you? Either you are realty ignorant to the issues that have happened this and last year or just as I suspect you are a fcsc parent. Probably both.

And I know because we experienced it.

Fcsc parents are knowledgable?! You lost all credibility after that statement.

Full and successful? Who lied to you? Either you are realty ignorant to the issues that have happened this and last year or just as I suspect you are a current fcsc parent. Probably both.

And I know because we experienced it.... But I have an idea. If you aren't a fcsc parent
And that ignorant to give that kind of advice, go and see for yourself.....really.
