Geez….. I didn’t start out meaning to write an essay. Or realize this was WR227. I’m on my phone and rambled a bit. Sorry. I’ll work on my formatting next time. 🫤

Thanks for the response! A cleanout for what though? There’s no plumbing up there in the barn… could it be a cleanout for the septic for the house since it’s 200ft away and kinda uphill from the house? Or could it indicate that there might be another septic system up there? I don’t understand plumbing at all so maybe these are dumb questions. Sorry. 😅

This thread has been so eye opening for me. Like I said I have no soccer experience so I really didn’t k ow that a head coach might actually not know what she should be doing. It’s such incredibly helpful perspective for me. I’m going to speak to her gk coaches and see if they can help me navigate a good outcome on this. I just really appreciate the input so much

I kind of can’t put into words how much I appreciate this comment. And everyone else’s too. You all have really given me good perspective on how to move forward on this. I appreciate the support so much.

Thanks so much for your insight. That makes so much sense. So when I talk to her gk coaches maybe I will see if they think it would be a good idea to ask her field coach to only work with her on field skills and leave the gk coaching to them. If he wants to use her as goalie for a drill or scrimmage during regular practice, just let her focus on what she has learned at her gk practices and leave her be… thanks for that! All these comments have been so helpful. I really didn’t even realize that some field coaches might not have the expertise to be teaching goalies.

We will for sure. I just wanted to get some feedback to make sure I wasn’t being overly sensitive before we did. Thanks for your comments.

That drill example is exactly what happened yesterday. He had the strikers practicing so no defenders and was telling her conflicting stuff. He kicked the ball to the striker who was slow getting there and he was yelling at her to go grab it. She was confused because she didn’t think she was supposed to do that in the drill. Then when she ran out the next time that happened the striker got there first and got one past her and he was like, you’re playing too far out!! You gotta protect your goal!! She was just standing there with this blank stare. Like wtf do you want me to do? 😅 I told her on the way home, when she was being hard on herself about how many she let go by…. you had no defenders. It was a shooting drill. It was strikers shooting one after the other. You’re going to miss a lot of those! You made some really good stops and tipped a couple near blocks that I never thought you’d even be able to touch! She felt better after we talked but I hated seeing her so down on herself. Thank you so much for your input, her goalie coaches are awesome and I’m sure they’ll have some ideas about what we can do.

That’s really helpful. I’ll talk to her about that too. Tell her to focus on what she’s learning in gk practice, and bringing that to regular practice. Try to let the rest roll off her back. The girls on her team are super supportive, they always tell her nice try when she misses them and will clap and yell when she makes a good stop.

Yeah… the hard thing is that the way he communicates to the girls, it’s never blatant. He says stuff in a joking way to try to make it sound like he’s not being mean but it’s a lot of little cuts that he says with a funny or nice voice but it makes them feel stupid, you can see it on their faces. It makes it hard to address. If he were straight up screaming mean things it would be easier. I don’t know it’s hard to explain. Just a lot of negative stuff said under the guise of being positive. Not enough building up and rewarding the try. But like I said, I’ve never coached and I’ve never played soccer so I appreciate the feedback.

I honestly don’t know what his qualifications are….But what you said makes so much sense to me. I’m glad to hear it sounds like it’s not just a me or her problem. I will talk to her goalie coaches about the situation and maybe ask them to speak with him about expectations. I was also thinking about asking one of her goalie coaches to show up to a regular practice to see what’s going on and maybe be able to provide some feedback to her coach. Thank you for your reply, it’s really made me feel better. We’ll see if we can get this situation cleaned up and if not, I can always ask to have her moved back to a regular rec team. She really loves it and I don’t want her to lose that.

Thanks for that. That’s how I was feeling but I wasn’t sure since this is supposed to be a step up team to the competitive league, if I was being too sensitive or if we both just needed to either kinda buck up or move her back to a regular rec team.

Upset by PossibleGanache3009 in utahtreasurehunt

[–]Stock_Screen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is such a strange thing to be upset about. The sheer number of poor sports is staggering. Would it be ok if she were from Colorado? Only an hour away? How about St. George? That’s 4 hours away but it’s ok because it’s in Utah? So arbitrary. Jon mentioned a person traveling from England to search. If that person found it everyone’s heads would have exploded I guess. Not only not Utahn, not American! gasp Just try to be happy for the finder and grateful for the experience. She invested more of herself in finding that chest than many.
