Just a curious question to see what people think about DOCs coaching instead of overseeing staff.

They should spend most of their time coaching the coaches, not coaching the kids.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
Totally agree! That is what the title means...if you are the #1 coach who takes the best teams etc...you are the head coach. A director of coaching should concern themselves with coaching the coaches, maybe creating a club wide development guide etc...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Should parents stfu and actually get a life.
Answer: no
If they aren't acting like obsessive idiots with this they will start telling their kids teachers how to teach...oh wait they already do that.Comment

There are some parents who are really unhappy with their lives. Their happiness hangs on their kids soccer which is pretty sad. The only thing they have is this site to vent that unhappiness.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Again, it's sad.Comment

DOCs need to stick with office work and use that higher education of there "national licenses" to actually make there club better. Like coaching up or teaching there lower level coaches to coach better.
Parents should not STFU we pay good money for good solid training not to play World Cup and play tag games by our own DOC!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

They do? I thought parents treated schools like babysitters and surrogate parents. Then get upset when they don't know how Dick and Jane turned out the way they did.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Status quo by DOC
Totally agree our DOC is a total joke and has yet to prove that he can run a decent training session. Parents are very unhappy about the lack of training yet know body wants to say anything to him because he is the DOC. I can't count the number of times in our car pool that the girls always complain that they should have stayed home and done homework. Because all they did was shooting "GAMES" not even looking to correct what they are doing wrong. Or they played heading games. We are talking about older girls not 10-11s totally wrong.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Our DOC coaches two teams and is an EXCELLENT DOC--so yes, they can do both!Comment

Better Question
Do these DOC's at local community based recreational non-profit soccer clubs that are staffed by over 90% parent volunteer coaches and board members really get salaries in the 100K + range?
Seems like the Egyptian pharaohs tried this method when the used the slaves to build the pyramids. At least the pharaohs along with the slaves put out a product for the world to marvel at.
All we can marvel at is the insane salaries, little else.Comment

Jealous with envy.
That's awesome I wish ours could do both we feel like he has lost his passion to spend the time to really create a competitive environment and challenge the players he coaches. Or challenge his coaches to be better.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Hence the problem with soccer here. Pay to play, and too many parents who thinks they know soccer.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

No they should not coach but have the ability to coach if necessary. Should a principal of a school teach? No but have the ability to if need be. There job is to over see everything and everyone under them. If they have too many teams that they are coaching than they lose sight of the bigger picture and making the club better.Comment

Ok some what true but if that's the case maybe the doc should stop coaching and start looking for large corporate sponsors to lower the cost for the player and the family and eliminate the parent voice turn it into the timbers academy style. 500 to play total for all travel and everything included.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
They can't do that because they have too many teams that they coach. Our DOC coaches 4 teamsComment
