Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgree about fleeing toxic situations but it is just not as easy as you are portraying. We have found over the course of several daughters that all changing teams really does is introduce different problems, it doesn't actually solve the real problem which is really about the individual girl and her view of herself. Girls that have a strong sense of themselves do much better with that change than those who don't and all that changing teams does for an insecure young girl is exacerbate their feeling of inadequacy. This is one of those times where one should step back and ask how important soccer is and to whom.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is some of the best advice I've read in this thread. The rest of what is here is just from club jumpers who never bother to question whether their jumping is actually doing anything for their daughters. They'll never be happy because the real issue isn't their team, coach or club. It is their daughter and either her social awkwardness or her inability to play soccer well.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWow. Your perspective is a classic example of how society enables bullies and tries to force victims into the mindset that they are the problem. Sorry but when my daughter is surrounded by *******s on the field and I am surrounded by them on the sidelines we are moving on. My daughter did not have any insecurities or socialization problems. Anything but. We moved on and found a better situation. I suspect that your reluctance to change teams is that she is on a destination team. My daughter wasn't - just a run of the mill club but even if she had been on destination team we would have changed teams just as quickly. I am not going to tell you how to raise your kid but I think it is a little bit dangerous to leave your kid in a situation where they are getting crapped on by their teammates. The heart of sports are the relationships you develop with your teammates on and off the field. One of the reasons that teams with talent perform poorly is that both parents and coaches fail to understand that talent alone doesn't produce positive results on the field. This is one of the major failings of youth soccer today - the failure to understand that development is more than about technical and tactical capabilities.

What happened? Did NEFC higher ups finally call "him" on his viciousness and bigotries--leading him to issue all of these transparently absurd, lying disclaimers in various threads? Too late. But he's not you, so no worries for you. LOL!
