Drama in Dunwoody last night…

[GriffWoody]

My 12u soccer team ended regulation tied 2-2.  Finished overtime 3-3.  Match went to PK’s.  We won 7-4 (4-1 on PKs).  Team went nuts.  The win takes us to the semis against a really good squad that beat us 10-1 three seasons ago.  We are a MUCH better team today than we were then.  We finished regular season 7-1-1.  We have a chance, but need to play to our potential and eliminate the stupid stuff.  We got this!

Good luck! GATA

Understand the 7 wins, but were the loss and tie due to coaching?

Hope your girls do well.

You're only 12 years old? You seem very mature for your age

Could be younger according to his post.

Both games, the loss and the tie, we had a better team but the boys thought they had it in the bag and let up.  I guess, in a sense, that is the corches fault.  I will say, it wasn’t because they weren’t being told from the sideline, in no uncertain terms, they’d better get their collective asses in gear.

Good to see you around.  I was actually thinking recently that we’d not seen you and wondered where you got off to.  Take your coat off and stay a while.

As I’m sure you guessed, I’m the corch.  Been coaching my son’s team for about 7 years now, in spite of only having played 2 years for the Stars when I was 5-6 years old.  Yourtube has good videos on soccer technique and age appropriate drills.  My asst corch is English and played in the mean leagues of Manchester, England whilst a young lad.  He knows his stuff.  Combined with his knowledge and my yelling, we’ve put together a decent squad of 11-13 year olds.

Yeah I was just messing with you. Sounds like that's a fun team. I loved coaching my boys' football teams.

I've been lurking a lot but not posting much. Will work harder to get butter

I know…didn’t take anything personally.  Just wanted to explain the dynamics.  

I wish more of the OG’s would come around more often.
