@memphisunited I tell mine from day 1 that I don't have any favorites except Captains...
And goalies...
And the Diamond (defenders)...
And freshmen...
And shooters...
But for real...it's the goalies. We all know it.

Every coach has their favorite players. It’s human nature.
Great coaches keep every player engaged and feeling part of the team. That’s a leader’s nature.

If @IowaMed and their Neuro dept could go ahead and swipe right on my Dad that'd be great.
It's only been SIX days sitting in St Luke's ER.
Feel free to message me if you care for his name and other details. Or call St Luke's and ask for "guy who's been there forever".

@IowaMed @uihealthcare I would but... we aren't patients. Which is sorta the problem, soooo...feel free to fix that little issue then I'd be more than happy to call whomever.

Itd be pretty great if @IowaMed or @uihealthcare could find a bed and a neurosurgeon for my dad's osteomyelitis.
Totally normal to sit in an ER for four days waiting, right?

I swear to heck...
If I have to talk to one more mom about their kid's experience in public school versus what I'm doing with my kid via homeschool I swear I'll be so happy because we both want what's best for our kids and moms helping other moms "mom" is so awesome!

@CoachBOtis In the past we've tracked Chances Created as well as Chances Denied. So not just Shots vs Saves, but was there a chance created by that string of passes? Or did a defender step into a tackle at the midline to deny an opponents chance to score before it even started?
English
Opinion: I noticed that hyper-focusing on game day results has taken some of the joy out of coaching for me. Not saying results don’t matter OR that I’m not a competitive person (I am). I’d just like to find other metrics of success so that I can reignite my passion💡

@coach_swalwell_ Why wear a belt if your pants are that tight anyhow???
English
The amount of comments agreeing to this is so infuriating!
Baseball charges so much, how about you use the money to purchase extra equipment.
I have extra GK gloves, shinguards, balls and jerseys in my car in case.
Trosky@NateTrosky
Infielders, win the day the night before! Prior to going to bed, pick-out your uni & check your bag for all your equipment. Showing up to any practice unprepared is “No Bueno,” especially if you consider yourself a next level player. Little things make BIG things happen! CEO/6TN

@CALMe_govIND @petenowakowski @ChatSoccr See a specialist and get the shot in your arch. It'll hurt like crazy, but might be the only thing that could help.
English
@EODixon @petenowakowski @ChatSoccr Hi,
Pain started from last year, and
It’s almost 4-5 months rest now, not helping with physio therapy also.
Any advise ?

Hey football fam, what's your best ways of dealing with plantar fasciitis?
Thanks in advance!

@_BecomeYou @coach_swalwell_ Or the more passive-aggressive style of subbing a player out, glaring at them as they come in, then ignoring them the rest of the game.
They hear that message loud and clear: "I only like you as a person when you benefit me as a coach. When you don't, you're useless."
English
Coaches, please don't criticize mistakes from youth players. Even at the highest level this is still the development phase. If professionals make mistakes, so will youth players. Be ok with it and use it as a learning experience
Michael Langlois@ProspectComm
Young, hard-working players will make "mistakes"- lots of them. It’s inevitable. Good youth coaches understand that kids need to try things- and sometimes fail. So they teach, explain, demonstrate, reinforce. They always keep building confidence- and then let their players play.
English
@bradrathbone @EarthyLilly Sure. Why not?
My kid is 6 and we hs primarily so we're free to travel as we want. (Lots of family back east.)
But also so we can spend a 30-45 on LAs, then an hour on math, and the rest of the day on science. She's deep into animals and maths, so we do what she's into.
English
@EarthyLilly Curious question (for anyone) but is homeschooling to save time so my kids can do other stuff longer (surf, nature, art ect) a realistic thought?
English
Most of my friends who were homeschooled are deliberately not homeschooling their own children.
I think that says something.
English
@CoachNoskowiak You and I can start a support group.
Just finished a 4in5 week with two 3in5s coming.
In the last week I've gone from 18 healthy to 8 healthy, 2 out, and 10 day to day. They're all beat up in general, but the combo of overuse plus crappy fields is taking its toll.

4 games in 5 days. High school soccer is just stupid with scheduling

Getting a yellow for allowing a sub to come on with a hair tie on her wrist is easily one of the dumbest things that's ever happened to me.

Pet peeves:
Coaching with hat backwards
Coaching with coffee in hand
Being late
Coaching matches in soccer boots
Mixed brand outfit
Unwashed pinnies
CELL PHONES! - whether using to keep time or just having them out altogether
Joysticking
Winging a session
Your turn:

@KamieCrawford is clearly the funnier one, but these older episodes show just how hard @maxjoseph came down on people and their stupidness.
Nev's eyebrows say what he thinking, but Max just leveled hard truth of folks!

@IAHSSCA
Did I really just read an email saying that no games played on 1 May or later will count towards the post-season pairings?
I get that you have to have a cutoff for the sake of planning, but cmon...most teams still have another 5+ games 1-13 May.
English
@JPaulNorton @SkyeJethani Kinda. More like how he (or the translation) places punctuation changes the passage bc it changes what the reader emphasizes. I'm no Bible expert, but preaching that the "" themselves change a verse to mean something other than what it says w/o the ""s seems super sketchy to me.
English
@EODixon @SkyeJethani If I understand your example, the claim you are making is that there are passages that change based on someone being quoted as saying it, correct?
English
1/There's a huge difference between the authority of the Bible & the authority of my interpretation of the Bible. Why this distinction is so difficult for some Christians to grasp is a mystery to me. It’s no more controversial than admitting that God is perfect but I am not.
English
@danny_audionerd @Challenger_ST Oh....and most of our Away games are 1 - 1.5 hours away.
Good times, good times.
English
@EODixon @Challenger_ST Really your district scheduled 4 varsity highschool games in 5 days? What state do you live in? I could see if it was club at a tourney but league games scheduled that closely is ridiculous.
English
High school soccer athlete:
“My coach said I have to run 2 miles in 12 minutes and have to keep doing it until I pass.”
Seriously, what are we doing?
English
@danny_audionerd @Challenger_ST 3 / 5 is pretty common in Iowa, but 4 / 5 is bc our 1st 3 wks was snow and storms & they rescheduled.
We get about 6 weeks of game dates for up to 17 games, BUT no one plays on Wed/Sun and there's no refs on Saturdays. So...Bout 24 dates for 17 games, then...weather.
