2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

What's your picks for next season in the WCC? Which of the usual 3 suspects will it be this year? Are USD and LMU going to break the oligarchy at the top of the conference. I believe 2 of the contenders and one of the outsiders have a date with my favorite team this year. It should be interesting. The spring should be an interesting preview however don't be surprised if the squad in baby blue looks slightly different come the fall.

It's going to be BYU, Pepperdine and Santa Clara with interference from Portland, USF and USD.

LMU, Pacific, LMU, Gonzaga will battle for the lower spots. Expecting more parity between 6 - 9 in 2019.

My player will get to see 3 of those teams and I am really excited about the game against Pepp. Hopefully @gkrent and the Pepperdine crew will break bread with me and some of the other rival fans that make the trip out to the game.

Following this story closely...Derek Leader and GCU staff are top notch. Give the facts and circumstances time to unfold.

Hasn't exercise been used as punishment in almost every sport? I know in basketball they run lines if practice isn't what it should be. Obviously getting all the facts is important from all sides.
 
It’s a whole new ball game when it comes to coaching and players feelings. What used to be seen as character building is now seen as bullying. Being told you’re not great at something or that you need to work harder, or even getting dropped or cut, players take it as an affront to who they are as person rather than specific to their abilities as a player.

See what is happening with the Australian national team right now 4 months from the World Cup.

Not taking a stance either way on what Derek Leader may or may not have done. Just a commentary on the generation of players we are currently producing.

Sounds like most of the complaints are from players recruited by the former coach

Another perspective to consider is that coaches are responsible for their staff - just like if you are a manager or business leader, you are responsible for what your reports do/say while on the job. When a new coach inherits staff from the previous coach, what they do/say becomes the new coaches responsibility. Isn't that why most new head coaches eventually bring in their own staff (assistant coaches, trainers, etc.)? Like any business situation, if an employee is no longer employed but were responsible for acting or doing something inappropriate, the liability falls on those who were responsible and are still there to blame. Often that perspective isn't factored in, especially in the court of public/media opinion. There are many (one that rhymes with Faker) club coaches that are 10K times more disrespectful and even verbally abusive toward their players than the accusations in this case.

I think we can rally the Pepp crew for some pre game libations!! Are you talking spring or the much anticipated and hotly envied fall matchups?

Hey Speed, how's the knee?

Well, based upon what I saw last weekend, I'd say better than ever. That said, I say a little prayer before every game for her and EVERY player on the pitch.

The team looks great already and will only get better this spring. Despite the players lost to graduation, this defense looks incredible. Those counting Pepp out will be in for a rude awakening.

USD had a lot of injured players on the bench this weekend and only 1 sub against CSUF. Final score CSUF up 5-0 at the end of three "halves".

Some coaches pick up a few extra bucks teaching phys ed classes and running camps.

Are you going to the game against my kid's team at the neutral site in August? First round is on me!

I am talking about the fall matchup however, the new brewery in Westwood is more than capable of hosting in the Spring. Maybe not as nice a location as we will get to enjoy this fall but I am down to hang with the Pepperdine crew anytime. I cheer for them in every game except one.
