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!

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

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

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.
