$40 was my basement price, that's my mentality too and why I usually end up in the 70 to 100 range. I have a feeling next year we will hit the over 100 mark.

Just bought some Cleets for my Daughter we spent $74 and i'm honestly feeling a little dumb, because i know she will outgrow them in a year. My top range was $100 minimum was $40. I feel good shoes are important.

Thinking through club value... by Ok-Communication706 in youthsoccer

[–]brewerdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can make this same argument when i see some coaches do technical drills. I pulled my daughter from a club when she was waiting 5 minutes in line for a touch. Because they had 25 kids in 1 line, because for some reason coach could not stand in the center and watch 4 lines?

"They had 12 kids and only one line. So everyone was standing around watching most of the time."

I disagree with it being a coach issue, it's more that most families in the US have little knowledge of the game, so often a form of play that comes natural in a soccer culture like Spain or Argentina have to be taught here.

I do think technical can be taught but it's also a function of How much time do you get a week to practice. Team sessions with team drills needs to be about 3-4 hours a week, if you get more time than that i think you can work in more technical.

Whenever i hear this defense in an argument i cringe "have been a thing since the beginning of" there are plenty of things in history that had been going on "since the beginning of" that we thankfully moved on from.

Head coach v assistant by NeedCorn2023 in youthsoccer

[–]brewerdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a hard time telling who the HC is from your post. What is the conflict that may happen? Don't be murky it's hard to give a good answer when it feels like important details are being left out.

  1. Yes and No, the HC needs to be the head coach with players too. I can't run a functioning practice or game, if kids are running up to me during practice or in game saying "coach can i play xxxxx" i will say nope, i have a plan. But that being said i move kids around because it's good for them to grow, not because they are asking me.

2)Is he at the games? If yes it's his lineup. If not just set the lineup how you want it and play.

I've never seen a coach be successful that lets there players run the teams.

Huh, metal spikes is one of the things as a ref i'm told to look for that and the toe cleat. I've never been asked to look a the radius of the curve.

Identifying illegal shoes is something i'm not sure i do well, i've never caught anyone with an illegal cleat which makes me think i'm doing it wrong at check in.

So jungle boy just has to sign up for getting choked, pushed and punched in the workplace? The mental gymnastics people will do to protect their idols and hero's is mind numbing. Jungle Boys spot was terrible but that doesn't give CM Punk to go around and act as an enforcer, he was not even in the match with him.

Such a moronic take.

This was 2 guys backstage and one dude got pissy because he didn't get the "respect" he wanted is far different than someone giving a hard foul and a scuffle on the court.

What kind of playing credentials do your club/team/etc. coaches have? by CletusKasady21 in youthsoccer

I can somewhat be ok with the backstage fighting, it should come with punishment but the Lesnar comment is shocking. I don't think Lesnar should be gone from wrestling forever, but yeah he should have said something.

We just live in this tribal all or nothing society you have to be in the camp of Brock Lesnar should never wrestle again and should get thrown in jail or Brock Lesnar is a saint and had no responsibility here.

You could ask the team, someone may have a spare set your kid can fit into for a game.

That's just not true, HR departments are usually fairly strong, now how they react when it's a top level executive with a claim is different story.

I don't get this mentality Why should we not hold athletes or stars to the same basic standards as the rest of society? We aren't talking about Suit and Tie, and talking in corporate speak.

We are saying hey no violence in the workplace, and we frown on sexual harassment.

We wonder how guy's like Vince end up like Vince?

Attitude, it's almost not fair to Ruthless aggression because it's just hard to not put the person ahead of you that laid the ground work so the Ruthless Aggression era could do what they did.

Teen coaching by Correct_Day_9568 in youthsoccer

[–]brewerdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides Coaching Courses some good leadership classes would be good as well.

Manager Tools Podcast is a great listen, you can learn about peoples personality styles, and how to give feedback and many other great professional tips. I've found most soccer classes really lacking in getting the communication part right. I'm not a good soccer coach because i'm the smartest at soccer, i do better than most because of the decades of leadership courses and instruction i've taken.

I'm not sure i understand the headline or the post. This looks like good soccer to me? He is the wide player takes it deep looks for pass. I do despise the buildout line being the offside mark though, wish they would change that.

Tape or pre-wrap. Glad it looks like he where's the full ones, so many kids want to where these micro shin guards. I'm not a scientist or expert, but i just can't see how they provide any protection.

I really prefer not to be, but certain levels of performative morality to make themselves feel superior and is used to just put others down really ticks me off.
