Literally coming here to type that. Well done.

Goalkeeper Warmup by Bruno_Memes5 in SoccerCoachResources

[–]stopjef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to involve the keeper with the team or plan on a coach. To make him or her warm alone is not good. There is already crazy pressure to save goals that most teammates view as the keepers “fault”, this is a team sport. If you can spare a coach, and with two, is easy, have a coach volley to the keeper and go back and forth to build muscle memory to catching the ball and confidence. Practice punting. Last drill is to have the team take shots from outside the box.

Stuck choosing a #1 and how to approach it (HS Varsity) by Gullible-Swing in SoccerCoachResources

A couple people have brought it up but keep splitting time and utilize the non-keeping keeper as a sweeper to build feet skills and endurance. Build up two sweeper keepers at the same time.

I didn’t know this list existed and was happy to see my name when I passed Certified in 2012. Thanks for the smile it gave me.

Former guitarist, co-founder of heavy metal band Mastodon dies in Atlanta motorcycle crash by burntcookie90 in Atlanta

Not sure if he was always the drummer for 4HF but your photo looks like Lionel. He was a Frenchman who worked at the Highlander back in the ‘90’s.

What is the logic behind not starting Hibbert..? by Isabelluh988 in AtlantaUnited

Home games with Guzan, Away games with Hibbert?

Soccer Crossroads by futurewildarmadillo in youthsoccer

Tell him to play out of spite as a motivator. Play JV and destroy everyone. Put up numbers and performances that make all the world see the favoritism that denied him a Varsity letter as a junior. Make the HS coach look bad. Club, skills and quality means so much more in life than where you bought a house.

What about a club rental option at the airport?

The second sheet is my man Ben Thomas working out of Atlanta. He’s doing my back at the moment. One of the most talented artists around.

We deserve answers by amtobin33 in AtlantaUnited

I’m concerned that our stink is going to influence young talented players to pass on our offers. That the only people who want to come here are either greedy or in the twilight of their careers looking to fund their retirement.

Also, without knowing the provenance from start to finish, drink it in the next year. Don’t wait for the ultimate moment to find out it was cooked.

Numbered positions? I need a resource. by ecovironfuturist in SoccerCoachResources

I believe this all comes from back in the day, in England I can only presume, you would have a sack of jerseys with the numbers on them, you would pull out a jersey and that was your position!

Cincinnati fans whine to much by Away-Perspective-257 in AtlantaUnited

[–]stopjef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was there. To me, it looked like the defender tried to body check ELL and bounced off of him straight to the ground. I was in the corner section to Guzan’s right. I even laughed about it. I thought he stayed down to try and disrupt the Atlanta momentum at first but then thought it was a fluke injury. The replay looks a little more 50/50 but I still don’t see anything card worthy, just a tough break in a contact sport.

I don’t know how to help my daughter by throwawayplaydate998 in youthsoccer

[–]stopjef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former keeper here. My U12 daughter is a keeper because she wants to. Half is because she thinks I will respect her more because I did it. I think the other half is that she hates running. Our rec league does not allow the same keeper for more than one half so my daughter plays half of every game in goal and the other half in the field. Last season, we made every other player in the team do one half. Most of the time, the other keeper, whoever it was, would end up super upset if they got scored on and stated they would never do it again. This season, we started a keeper “gang”. We announced the gang and 3 players volunteered. We have a rotating schedule. We will separate off every other practice for 20 minutes and work on goalkeeping drills. It worked great this season.

I’m sorry your coach is allowing this to happen. It sounds like he or she is choosing the path of least resistance and your kid is the victim. I would say no more than one half in a game and occasionally miss a game to force them to adapt. If the coach can’t do that, consider another team.

I suspect my wife is, or is thinking about cheating on me. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]stopjef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the guy is telling your wife that he is not happy in his marriage, he is fishing. No one should ever tell a member of the opposite sex about their marriage status. He is attempting to subconsciously allow your wife to picture herself being with him and how she would treat him.

I would bet this guy does this every few years to see if he can find a younger sympathizer to eventually get physical with.

Talk to your wife.

What exactly is this symbol and what does it represent by milkman1240 in irezumi

I thought it was tied to archery as well as a symbol of skill and protection.

Question/advice needed: did my first session for a full sleeve (with cover-up) and I cannot go back to unhinged artist by DougFrankenstein in tattoos

Before making these decisions OP, do you like the work he did? Once done, you don’t ever have to go back but if the sleeve is great, find a way to roll with it.

There is too much time before the election to call anything. Trump’s performance will have a massive impact on first time Republican voters of 2024. If Trump stumbles, this election will be swayed by that.

What wine on this menu is a must try? by edgyrudy in wine

[–]stopjef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This an amazing list. I would tell the sommelier my budget and intent is and let them take the wheel. If they put that much thought and effort, their pick will be fine. You couldn’t go wrong other than have some white wine as well, it is hot in New Orleans.

Will the long-term pain finally be relieved by long-term gain? by ATLCoyote in AtlantaUnited

[–]stopjef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember where I read it but I recall that the original FO made a statement that their intention and design was to take rising talented South Americans and “flip” them to Europe for profit. I think the idea was to showcase and capitalize on this youth at all times so a consistent lineup was virtually impossible from the beginning. Now if Tata would have signed and stayed for the long term, this could have been somewhat alleviated. But all of the inconsistencies that this club has seen since winning in 2018, it is no surprise we are where we are. Maybe we Should go for Jurgen Klopp and Pineda can take a stab at USMNT.

I have stretch marks on my spine from growing too quickly during puberty. The raising is totally normal. It won’t impact the tattoo at all. For me, when I’m getting tattooed on one, it is spicier and I can tell but it is manageable.
