Since we’re talking about EJ again, I have a couple of questions: #1whose little sister’s jacket was he wearing all winter? He should’ve sent that back to Gambia with those used soccer uniforms. His friends shouldn’t let him go out the house like that. #2 Why he ain’t lost no weight during Ramadan?

As a parent, this forum is starting to loose its lure for seeking and sharing relevant information. I have noticed how genuine questions are asked and somehow it pivots to this EJ coach. Out of curiosity, I did some research and have come to realize these folks are sharing false information to mislead interested parents from EJ. Now this person has gone as low as attacking his personality as it appears there’s not much to touch on the quality of his delivery as a coach. Please create another topic to discuss about him loosing weight and not leaving his house so that you and others of similar mindsets can indulge yourselves in critical thinking! The world has left you all behind!

Have been around the soccer scene for 15+ years and am better-connected than probably 95% of the posters here. For every post that delivers actual information, there are about 25 others that are shoot-from-the-hip opinions, partial truths, untruths and outright lies. Some posters have agendas or axes to grind, and will post something that has a germ of truth to it, seasoned with a layer of speculation or innuendo. But more telling is the drive-by posters who resurrect old threads or hijack current ones; they don't care about whether what they post is factual or not. They do it for their own amusement to see the reactions they get. Parents who are passionate about the game for their kids are easy marks for this sort of trolling.

So you see, posting an appeal like this is not going to make them stop and think or change their ways. It has opposite effect. Your reaction is their ENTERTAINMENT.

And as for expecting this forum to be a source of relevant information, fergettaboutit. You're better off engaging on the sidelines with people you know than with anonymous posters online who are not held to any standard of truth.

Keeping up with EJ, Truth be told SU offered EJ B and C teams. Ask the man himself…

God forbid he works and develops B and C players. I thought he was one of the best trainers around and wanting to provide opportunities for all players… or is that just for show?

If you clowns only knew. Jedi night level parents who are able to give you wonderful guidance can also have sense of humor because of the absurdity of the situation of being a soccer parent. No one is innocent here and no one is perfect.

It’s the novice neophyte parents who are the worst because they feign their own innocence and purity, and they are the most selfish and cutthroat. Playing Frenemy with other parents and always acting like they’re the insider. What is truth? John 18:38. Don’t go all philosophical metaphysical on us

Get off this website and spend some time with your kids and family. And laugh at it. it’s gonna be over really fast and your kid will probably be going to wazoo.

Many are called, but few are chosen Is even relevant in you. Those that note don’t tell in those that don’t know.

If you don’t have fun, it’s gonna be a total waste. Because if you spending time on here trying to figure out what’s going on, you don’t know what’s going and in your kid is probably not that good.

this is 100% true especially for the anonymous boards, so if you never had experience with such behavior, just remember those words and always keep them in mind every time you read something here.

His days are exactly 24 hours, just like everyone else's. Ain't enough time to develop A, B, C, D, E players together, especially if average coaches can do as good of a job as anyone at developing average players.

Must be a lot tougher for them on the girls side when they can’t offer the same fast track to Sounders Academy their players always seem to get on the boys side.
