Thusc doc

[Unregistered]

She's the DOC of THUSC, paid by THUSC and needs to be focused on hiring quality coaches and building a decent curriculum at a program that has been allowed to coast on its history of success on the girls side and woeful neglect on the boy's side under a prior DOC that hadn't done anything but alienate the entire OR soccer community. No more chasing shiny new objects or getting spread to thin. Be groundbreaking all right, teach our young players some skills so we can eventually compete at the national level!

It's amazing. I know lots of families who put their sons in Westside and daughters in THUSC. And I can't say I blame them...

Nope she just did a 180 and renigged after getting flack. Too bad as it was a great opportunity for her to be a part of something groundbreaking for young female players in Oregon.

SHE did not do a 180, her board did. After they told her she could do it.

I also know families that put their kids in different clubs. I don't blame them.

I also know that we're coming up on tryouts so there are coaches and parents trash-talking or trying to convince others on where to go. Coaches need players or else they don't have a team. So what's really going on at THUSC?

So does RH get to stay as the DOC? Very confusing.

Yes and THUSC continues to be part of CU for ECNL.

No she is still part of ECNL, just not assigned to a particular team.

Since you want to be the expert on coaches, please give a complete, in-depth analysis of the other coaches who remain. What are your qualifications and background?

You are so desperate to tear down a program. Why so much energy instead of just focusing on your own choice?

Well said. Nothing is ever good enough for some when it comes to coaches in OR it seems. There are some good coaches at both ECNL clubs and the Thorns Academy. Seems folks have a hard time realizing and admitting that.

OK since she is no part of CU, what part of the league operations of the ECNL is she assigned to? She is out of CU for sure by her own words, wait is the board going to force her to be part of CU just like they forced her out of the Portland Thorns GDA? The messaging is all over the board, no pun intended.

Fair or Unfair the measure of a coach in competitive sports is their body of work reflected in wins, losses & championships. Problem in Oregon Youth Soccer there is now way to measure that anymore as nobody plays for anything. We do have a class of coaches that are 'good' at that for sure. Point taken.

In youth soccer, the measure is how many kids they move on to college or pro soccer. By this measure, the ECNL clubs are excelling and the TA clubs are failing miserably. Nobody but cavemen care about wins at U11.

Hmm...if games and league play and cup play are meaningless, that is in your mind they are really not on the table anymore, why even have teams and competition.

Boys Soccer doesn't have a title IX provision to artificially inflate athletic scholarships like the girls do. So they have very little athletic aid available to them, period.

Girls were getting more athletic scholarships in Oregon prior to the 2 clubs leaving for the ECNL platform so that means prior to this happening there were Good coaches in Oregon based on your criteria. Got it.

Coaches are measured on what they do with their talent in a team environment based on this criteria CU & FC P must have some piss poor soccer coaches that can't get results from the 'talent' that is college bound. That's too bad.
