When and where ans what tournament was last time your daughters team into the states to win it all. I mean Xolos are fully funded so ...

I’m thinking boys; my daughter recently began playing with girls. The boys from the rec leagues in TJ win the Vegas tournaments regularly.
 
What tournament...what date.. just a story otherwise right

Do they think they are all going pro or is there a place for them in college.. UNLV has a couple on scholarship.. maybe they should have quit aooner
 
It is rare a Mex team wins gold in Vegas in many age groups just FYI. Same at Surf... Man City.. Nomads.. Cerritos.. NHB... aren't Xolos regional.

Still not answering but I get it no answers for the real questions.

About 8K in state and 21k out of state.. before expenses. If you are from NV and maintain a certain GPA you qualify for the millineum scholarship that I believe is 2500 a semester. unlv is also a WUE school I think..

First not the c team and second not Vegas. That is a good win though but not the top division in the tournament.. But also not your proof that Xolos are tired of sending c teams to Vegas.

So now you’re advocating for men soccer? Are you in a casino getting free drinks? I’m not sure what teams but I’m sure Baja regularly send weak teams to Vegas and wins. It’s kinda seen as a confidence booster for scrub teams-ya know, picking the low hanging fruit type thing.

You are making up stories and getting called out on it. Because it isn't true. You brought Vegas and boys up not me. I asked if they should be focusing on college since they are on the c team. You put forth a second division team. Like I said you are hyper focused on Mex as the place of destiny for the future of soccer. Good on you.
Just be honest and not deflect.
Best of luck

what girls are hurting.. 12yr old girls and boys are not hurting. College players girls and boys are not hurting. You know there are more girl scholarships per team than boys scholarships and those scholarships on the girls side tend to be worth more money than a boys scholarship. If you are talking pro then why is that ? Is it oppression or market value? Now I am not saying USMNT and USWNT should not make similar wage but in league it is about revenue coming in and sustainability. So just stop.

Just for you Vegus Guy Coach
SA: U.S. Soccer's new Mental Health section on the Recognize to Recover site includes a COVID-specific part, but had already been in the works ...

GEORGE CHIAMPAS: My philosophy as Chief Medical Officer is that it's important for us, with Recognize to Recover, to tackle all aspects and make information readily available for our sport. Stuart Sharp [U.S. Soccer Paralympic head coach] is a big advocate on the mental health side. We brought in former national team player John O'Brien [who earned a degree in psychology]. Obviously, his perspective is so important as a former player who is working in the psychology space. Jim Moorehouse from our programing side, and Laura McLane, one of our national team athletic trainers, were among others bringing this content together.

Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder -- those are areas that we want our coaches, our players and our parents across the country to have a resource to turn to. Mental health is something we want to start speaking about in our sport.

Let's see if you can answer a question for me.

What should a coach do if he suspects a player may have mental health issues?

It’s less than club soccer to attend UNLV!

Good question. I know at Club Tijuana for the younger age group 30 minutes of practice time per week is a group activity with a sports psychologist.

I only make up half my stories when I do story time on the soccer forum.....lol. Coaches I used to know read little fairy tail stories about the Olympic games back in the Athens days and how girls actually competed too and now they too can be pro one day like Marta or OM or Mallory. Every week a new fairy tail would be read. What Me and MacDre want to see is a pathway for the top 2% to get out of this pay per play model asap that will ruin the girls side and maybe already has. I'm not CFO dude, but I know if their is a will, their is always away. 98% can still go for college. I love college sports and I want UCLA to win every game. I'm super pissed that Nix went to the G League so he can choose whats best for him and his family. He should be allowed to get drafted in the NBA btw. If you want college like Klay Thompson, then you go for four years. No more one and done. We need some rules in place. I hated watching Lonzo for just one year. Bring back college sports for it's purpose. I do think college football is a good minor league for the NFL and brings in the cash and all the fun with it. I LOVE college football :) I think college football players only should get spending money each month and then depending on how they do the four years there there, they can can get some of the loot too. I'm open to the basketball players too but most of the super stars will not be going to college out of hs. TGIF!!!

I do not know what you think every club costs all in. I do not pay that for my son. $8K is a lot of money for a lot of local families. If the player can get 30% athletic scholarship and the Millennium Scholarship, the player can get a stipend. But feel free to argue that college soccer should go away and take those opportunities away.

Well since most clubs can not afford a sports psychologist and most of us do not live the privileged life of a MacDre to have his daughter attend private school and Xolos Academy, I would talk seriously with the parents about my concerns. I would also help them seek out resources if they were open to my assistance. Communication is key for a coach and for a parent. I have open dialogue with my son's coach and not all those conversations are easy.

Look then find your pathway to the pros and let those who choose college soccer earn their pathway. I will be honest and will not change my opinion on college and college athletics not just soccer. Ellejustus are you willing to follow macdre and choose pro or bust and never look at college as an opportunity?

Not pro or bust. Rather pro or study hard, focus on career, club soccer, and joining a fraternity/sorority is a better alternative.

Why do you think a college athlete can not get good grades. There is a Doctor playing offensive line in the NFL. There is a award winning physicist doing the same. What about he Stanford grad playing baseball or the LAFC player that graduated with high grades and a college diploma.

Coach, who trained you on young girls striving to be the best from U12-U17 and to see if they have any "mental" issues? If my dd was wanted and valued, I think she would jump at pro after HS if they gave her a 4 year deal at $75,000 a year plus free college for those four years. She can;t play on the college team though. You can't do both. However, like I said a 100 times, she wants college and I support that and no way will that ever happen, right? College or bust for 99.99%. I dont think it should be a club sport at most schools either. Their does seem like some money issues at all the schools and we need to look into that and think outside the box. We can do this better and make everyone happy. The NC Courage coach agrees with Me and Macdre too.
