Top female coaches?

[Unregistered]

Dad of 2003. Note from you future: kids running around scoring goals now will still be dominate players later. Goals won’t be as abundant as defenses get better and smarter. But same kids will be dominant. Just a word of wisdom for all you who secretly hope the kid scoring all the goals now will suck later.

Coach here..

Big fast kids at 10 don’t end up being anything special if they don’t develop properly. If I had a dollar for every big fast kid that can’t manipulate a ball I wouldn’t have to coach anymore.

They can dominate the Rec leagues but won’t scale with the best. This is some words of wisdom for you. And besides it was more calling out the idiot that thought a run of the mill 10 year old team makes a good coach..

Lol it’s 2010s.....one big or fast kid can win a state cup or score goals for any team at that age. Proves nothing. You clearly haven’t been around long have you?

Celebrating 2010 trophies?

Yea I disagree, but for clarification my kids played for top teams and groups even at U10. Kids who’s parents are looking for the best development get what they put their time and energy in. Yes the big fast kids scoring at U10 at upper level of comp are still dominant at U18.

If they have little skill they play defense as the get older.

Science disagrees with your nonsense.

Talk to any coach that has been around for a decade or more and they will tell you the early maturing players almost always fall behind later to the athletes that mature slower.

Many reasons for this, but anecdotal evidence suggests the amount of skill and work it takes to beat stronger faster opponents pays off over time as they grow physically.

If you want to gauge a soccer players future, watch their ball skills....doesn’t matter their size. If they master the ball, they will always perform well as they grow. Size and speed are only a fraction of the game, although important....not the biggest factor.

It's too bad there is no bar or measure to gauge or evaluate female coaches in the area as a result the forum spits out the names of mom's turned into coaches due to lack of interest in coaching local area girls in soccer of the decades.

What sexist claptrap. A professional coach who happens to also be a mother, is equated with a juicebox soccer mommy who volunteers to coach her kid's rec team.

The professional coaches around here who happen to be fathers aren't ridiculed in this fashion....

Hope this isn’t aimed at Sharla? She was a professional player and college level coach.

She may not be Jill Ellis, but hardly a weekend warrior mom-coach.

The problem in Oregon (specifically Portland) is the dilution of club soccer, especially in girls soccer. Too many teams calling themselves elite. Of everyone is elite- no one is elite.

Too bad Sharla went to Westside Thorns, they have terrible leadership. Director turnover and current is a dud.

No the male coaches are not ridiculed in this way, but they should be ridiculed nonetheless.

Most kids would be better off playing for the juice box mom.

Define college level. A lot of terrible college coaches out there. A lot.

There isn’t anything sexist about calling someone out for being a parent coach. What is sexist is the topic of female coaches in general.

Shouldn’t we be talking about the best coaches in general.

Says a lot when you have to narrow the field and level down to get to gender. Says a lot.

Sounds like the chauvinst pigs at THUSC haven't learned their lesson about mansplaining.
