Do you have a young lad that plays for him?
Think that works from the parents sideline? LMAOold soccer dad wrote:John Terry wrote:old soccer dad wrote:TheFarPost wrote:Not surprised about what?

No I don't have a young lad that plays for him. I've been around a couple of years so I've seen this "douchebag" in action. He has a big bark but thats about it. He did tell me once that soccermoms really dig the screaming and yelling he does from the sidelines.

No wonder all those men keep their women at home when they play him. Is that why you think he's a douchebag because your wife digs his screaming? Or maybe it's just the accent?

No she really not attracted to guys will small stature. She did tell me once he looked and sounded like the “Lucky Charms Lepricon”

Yes coaching(screaming) a U-11 team to the Classic League championship is quite an accomplishment. Now lets see how this team develops and improves relative to other teams over the next 4-5 years. I am sure the lot of the '98 will be over playing at Chelsea in a few years.

Give it a rest and move on to other topics. Further, lets be honest, most of the most successful coaches in Classic league (including all three of the Texans top coaches) are all serious yellers. This coach is no worse than any of them. It is a style of coaching that works for some kids and not for others. If you are part of the "others", then dont have your kid play there. Ah, or perhaps that is what this thread is all about--the posters who keep bumping this thread with these attacks dont have kids strong enough to play there.
Or perhaps not. And if thats the case, their "point" has been made and its time to move on.

I agree with you since he is good soccer coach with many years of experience and awards to support him. On the other hand, I believe what you are not reading is the "INTEGRITY" of the man is being questioned due to the abundance of rumors spilling into the futbol community of what has been heard and seen in public. I have read posts here comparing to Tiger and/or Jesse James, etc but if you have a DD that coach took good care of during years of service your point here is well taken but it was the past and some people change.

Kevin has a unique sideline manner for sure, and I'd argue that he is clearly the loudest around (other than that nut-case from Frisco AC back a few years). I've known many kids that like playing for his Solar teams. He has quality practices, and having spent considerable time at the old Solar complex can say I didn't see this side of him in practice.
I'd say the more important issues is not the volume but rather what is said and with what intent. There are far too many of our "top" coaches that I feel are poor influences on our kids. I say this based on having watched them literally chase kids away from the sport. It a tough thing to find a coach that has the experince/temperment/organizational skills to really make teams/clubs succesful and help the kids evolve over the years as players. Many do it through strong recruiting and "marketing tactics", as it is much easier and provides more immediate success. But hey we've all bought into it, right.

My oldest bb played for this guy some years back. I would beg to argue that yelling and coaching are not one in the same. My son has very tough skin and was considered an above average player by KS, but there is only so much one should have to put up with. To have kids demeaned and treated disrespectfully to this degree was just not for us. My youngest ones saw this firsthand and didn't want any part of his teams and I am here to say there is life after Solar and we are all fine, developing, happy, and believe it or not, my bb's don't have to be cursed at or screamed at to bring out their best or be part of a coach whose moral character is questionable to say the least even obviously today based on what I am reading here. My soccer players look up to their coaches now as role models and I think that's how it should be. And that 98 paradise team everyone talks about I hear had a couple very good players walk out within the past year and that they are down to barely a full team, so somehow, somewhere, and for some reason players are seeking greener pastures. Maybe people are finally coming to their senses about what is tolerable and what is not.
