[QUOTE="Smitty, post: 277065, member: 16698"] [b]Soccer Coaches & Parents[/b] I played soccer from 5 or 6 all the way until I was 15 or so. I had a lot of great coaches and my parents were great with support (still are.) One of my favorite coaches (under 12 rec. league) was a Nigerian father of one of my friends. Great understanding of the game, good teacher, and was very enthusiastic about us having fun and playing with good skills. Had a blast! Our pre game chant was (Heavy Nigerian Accent) “Whose ball IT is?” After those seasons I tried out and fought through the politics to play on a Classic team like Lou described. My coach was a doctor who had that wise, authoritative style who expected more out of you than you thought you had. He could make you run till you puke and nitpick you until you hated him. Thing was you knew he was making you better and he didn’t use an aggressive, abusive style more of the pull you aside and tell you just to do what he had taught. After two seasons with him I had learned a lot about myself and had done a lot of physical things I doubted I could do. My parents never missed games and would let me blast my ball off the side of the house while the dishes rattled for hours. Good parents should attend, be on time, and be interested in the activity not the outcome. My dad still comes to 90% of my races and we talk strategy, tuning, and skills 2 or 3 times a week and he’s never ridden offroad. There’s a ramble for ya. [/QUOTE]
