What your daughter was being coached to do! That’s what’s awful. Complete BS
Dang. Maybe I wasn't clear. She wasn;t taught to lie bro. She was the shortest and when she was in the box, girls would whack her hard and she would fall and then she would bounce right back up to fight for the ball in the box because she wanted to score so her team could win. She was taught at 11 and older to lay in the box, find the area that got whacked and sell it because the ref is usually not close enough to see where the foul took place. These big girls can;t just keep doing that and get away with hacking my kid or Neymar for that matter. Plus, if you keep getting up the ref will think it wasnt that bad and he won;t blow that dam whistle. We are trying to win and winning is selling it where I come from
Agree 100%...I love it when the stetcher/physio comes out, puts on the magic spray and the player pops up ready to go. I wish there was a way manage the situation where if the stretcher/physio comes out player is removed for a period of time. Figure out a way to manage the behavior out of the game. Problem is it penalizes the team that was fouled.

My point being "sell it" a 12yr old is impressionable. The coach telling her to sell it has not place in the youth game. Just my opinion. I would teach my player to position with strength smaller or not. You also mentioned the coach told her to develop tears. Crying helps get a whistle. Will that help her in the real world? I am also curious if you have called for a yellow or red card on a youth player from the parent sideline.
Play the game to the whistle. If you get knocked down get back up. If you are truly injured stay down. If you foul someone and the whistle blows, get your butt back and quit whining

I find more respect for players who get gashed, get wrapped and are trying to get back in with blood dripping down their face. Hell Abby Wambaugh got staples on the sideline and got back in.

To be clear, I am not calling your daughter awful. I am saying being coached to develop tears and embellish a touch, hack or potential dive is awful. You don't coach players to do that at least in my philosophy.
C'mon man, that was a joke. My dd cried all the time when big girls whacked her and she whacked them back by winning and with some tears along the way. You folks take me way too serious. Lighten up!!! No coach told her to make up tears either, only I did so we could win and brag that our team was #1.
That's BS soccer and it's why all the girls go to ER every weekend Vegas guy. My dd had so many injuries it was uncalled for all because_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
OK, thank's for being clear. I'll warn all of you right now. When the games begin, when my dd gets whacked in the box, she's going down for the count and will let the ref make the call, not you guys.
What the hell is the girls league you're a part of bro? I will make sure we skip the the game with your squad. My gosh!!!!

How old was she when she wasn't getting scouted, Dre, and why would you expect her to in Tijuana?

sarcasm is lost in text and you my fried as funny as somethings are that you say you are quite a talker so it is hard to discern between reality and jokes.

Lighten up Francis (Line from Stripes). I am talking about pro's and adults not youth players. figured the Abby W reference would tee that one up but obviously you missed that game of hers. I have held out more players because of a blow to the head than most coaches and I take my players safety over winning any day.

9 times of of 10 you have to actually make hard contact to get Messi to go down. And if he goes down, he doesn't act like someone snapped his fibula with their laces. Neymar is a disgrace and he gets more dive warnings than fouls now.

I have no issues with professional fouls. There are good fouls, bad fouls and phantom "Neymar" fouls.

Kim Kardashian is rich. Her legacy is getting nailed from behind on video.
I was talking about my 11 year old being taught to win and don;t call me Francis or I will kiss you
If you want people. to stop flopping, we need to teach refs to call the fouls.
Current guidelines and training give preference to keeping game flow at the expense of penalizing fouls. At higher levels, not much gets called. It’s rough on kids who play up.
As AR, I’ve talked to more than one ref who explained that he didn’t call the foul because the player didn’t fall. He saw the trip or push, agreed it was a trip or push. We both agreed there was no advantage. But, because the player kept their balance, he allowed it.
In effect, the rule is “no flop, no whistle”. So people flop.
