Long-time reader, first-time poster.
Interested in anyone's take on what this coach is saying when he talks about battling his own ego and desire to win, yet admitting that these traits (typically frowned upon when talking about a youth coach) might be extremely beneficial to the girls he coaches.
The ECNL Experience vlog - U14G
Is he speaking for all competitive youth coaches, or are there coaches out there who are 100% truly in it for the players??
He seems to know his stuff and seems to know how to teach it. Looking at last year's ECNL standings his team seemed to have overachieved a bit with a playoff run. Wondering if my daughter would be lucky to have a coach like this, or a coach like this would hurt her long term?
I'm not from the west coast and fully understand that the competitive environment in Socal is at another level to what we see here in the midwest. Maybe egotistical coaches who desire to win at the younger age groups are a dime a dozen in your area, but that's kinda why I'm posting here. Will try the TX forums as well.
