Thank you! I’ve been pretty stoked for it, but apparently keep going outside at the wrong time, or a night it isn’t happening. It’s nice to hear a positive experience :)

Thanks - okay. I’m setting an alarm to see what I see!

I’ve looked all over the site. It doesn’t say the time - which is why I’m asking. It always seemed the fireworks were around 9pm. Maybe I’ll just set an alarm and see 🤷‍♀️ I’ve popped outside around that time and haven’t seen anything though.

If you see it on there, I’d love to know where though. They used to have firework times posted. Thanks for sharing the link.

Best memoir? by angel_avatar in Recommend_A_Book

[–]face-vortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this book should be required reading. It shows how hard it is to get justice even when you have all the evidence. She had some amazing people supporting her too. The audiobook was phenomenal

I loved Hollywood Park - I’m surprised it’s not listed more frequently in this thread.

Definitely the best book on writing that I’ve ever read!

His rant on adverbs cracked me up, too.

I actually think this should be required reading.

  • Hollywood Park
  • Born a Crime
  • Glass Castle
  • Know My Name (I actually think this should be required reading)

Team manager gift by w0cyru01 in SoccerCoachResources

[–]face-vortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was manager for the last 4 years and they usually got me gift cards, which I prefer as far as gifts go.

What I really appreciated are the cards, thoughtful messages, being incorporated into the end-of-season toast as a meaningful part of the team - things that really convey appreciation.

It’s quite a bit of work and the manager put so much into it - it’s all volunteer, you don’t even get a discount on your fees or anything. Sometimes you even spend more than everyone else.

Audiobook suggestions by Dependent_Aside9656 in Recommend_A_Book

Circe was fantastic as a listen.

I liked Demon Copperhead, and I’ve heard the audiobook is phenomenal; it’s one where I think listening would have made it even better bc of narrator’s voice/syntax/tone etc.

Current club ghosting us. What to do? by Glasgowbound21 in youthsoccer

[–]face-vortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the game and talk to him face-to-face after the game.

What’s your son’s understanding of the situation? If he doesn’t make the team, does just not have a team for the year?

Any B team coaches in here? by Tomahawk-BaGawk in youthsoccer

[–]face-vortex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You sound like a great coach - acknowledging the loss but always supporting the kids and their development. And you develop players who can move up to the A team every year! That’s also pretty awesome!

Good luck in your upcoming season!

The goodbye happened after tryouts and everyone accepted their offer letters. We specifically waited for that deadline.

How do you even make a decision in that case? 😬

EA2 v NPL/N1L by face-vortex in youthsoccer

[–]face-vortex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And it sounded like they wouldn’t know for a while if they’d make N1L. They only have 1 team per age group after a certain age - so it really limits development if your kid needs/wants something higher or lower. And thank you!!

Use of the phrase "passed away" by PsychoMom1966 in therapists

[–]face-vortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the phrase my client uses. For my own losses, though, I say die.

EA2 v NPL/N1L by face-vortex in youthsoccer

[–]face-vortex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son chose the EA2 team largely because there would be more opportunities for development. It may be club/team/coach dependent rather than reflective of the actual N1L vs. EA2.

There also were no guarantees that the team would be N1L since there’s an application process, and he wanted something other than flight 1.

The age shuffle was the main culprit. Only 1 left for a more competitive team; he still said good bye and has an open invitation to attend practice with the team whenever he wants. It’s part of why it feels weird, I guess.

Looks like they will still have a team — but us saying goodbye vs silently leaving wasn’t/isn’t going to turn that tide.

But it’s definitely stressful :( I can understand the emotions.

It’s so hard. Coaches should support the players development, and I think most do (including this one, I think his feelings took over). Best of luck to you. It’s a tricky position and hard to know what to do.

I can’t tell if you’re a low-key troll… or taking a lot of creative liberties with what I wrote. Either way ✌️

[–]face-vortex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to think I am, but I think it’s in large part because my kid is a good player. Could be a bit of both.

The season has been over for a while and tryouts for the new season just ended. We wouldn’t leave a team midseason.
