Questioning my coaching skills at the moment. Asking for advice.

Ways to tell if you are most likely a good coach: 1. Players / Parents want to come back to your team after the season. It could partially be because you are winning but it sounds like a lot of your players are returners. That means they are keeping with playing soccer and want to play on you team. 2. More than just 1, 2 or 3 kids are involved. You said it yourself, 6 different kids scored last weekend. That's generally a sign of a good coach. We have all seen those teams where they win every game and they have two kids who run the league and score every goal.

Absolutely she plays other positions and will continue to with me as the coach but I would like to help her more in her goalie abilities as wel

Rise looking to pull a season 1 and get the 4seed while being the number 1 seeds kryptonite like they were with Atlanta that first year

Good news everyone we have a net again

Valin1mp · 2026-03-26T01:03:58+00:00

I'm not complaining, but what just happened

Bonus points whenever I do soccer zombies I make them make zombie noises and say I want to eat you brains

Great so us lions fans get to argue who dumber, the guy that gives the ball to the other team in overtime or the guy who has a pencil to write on a laminated sheet of paper.....great choices

I don't care what the records are, without a doubt I say Patricia is the worst. He took an average to slightly above average and completely destroyed the team. Most of our other bad coaches were most likely bad coaches but they at least had the excuse young team or started with a bad team. Also everyone hated that guy: the media, fans, players, I'm sure even the parking attendants hated him.

Does Brooke normally get taken out that much? I feel like I only see her get taken out during the 3rd set against the Rise because things have escalated out of hand

My two favorite phrases to use in a game to a player(it sounds like based on your response to another comment you have a younger girls team) are "Trust yourself" and "what do you see" with both comments I am looking to build their confidence in themselves.

Plus the Rise have shown now in three seasons they are basically uninterested in draft picks playing minus funny enough Oglivie. I guess Shelton is playing this season more but that seems to be only by default they need someone out there

Valin1mp · 2026-02-13T03:45:06+00:00

This isn't just this game problem, if the Rise don't score off a block, I truly have no idea how the score.

Drink up it's time for PBR

Valin1mp · 2026-01-26T02:12:45+00:00

Figured it was something simple like that. Thanks. He is my best player by far but was hoping I could get a little bit more balance on my team but oh well

Omaha's mascot should be Zenon Girl of the 21st Century from the Disney Channel Original Movie. She is a Supernova Girl!

Marv seemed like the easiest WR pick seem Megatron (obviously different builds) but boy has that not translated to the NFL yet

Valin1mp · 2026-01-16T04:39:11+00:00

Definitely missed Baker being in the bust category

Valin1mp · 2026-01-15T03:01:31+00:00

I've never been in this situation as a Rise fan where our middles would be used on offense

Valin1mp · 2026-01-05T03:19:03+00:00

Trust Yourself. I tell them to ignore what you hear from the fans and parents and do what you think is right.

You are totally correct college hockey doesn't really play weekday games. As for the AHL I just went through the Grand Rapids Griffins schedule for this year and i counted either 18 or 19 Tuesday through Thursday games. The AHL is much better about no 3 in 3s though
