Top Hat controls that region for GA but I can totally see them jumping to ECNL. FC Virginia might stay though...
I forgive you
The most important part of it all!!!! Congrats!
You will find out soon bro if it's good, bad or flat out ugly thing. Respect is key word and i respect you for your positive spin. I love your attitude and I'm sure your dd is learning one way to be. Me however, I was pissed off bro in 2016 until just recently when the GDA was crushed and knocked out. That league only lasted three sum seasons. GA seems stronger and for the kids. I hope it can stay in business longer then three years. I even shared with others how pissed off I was. I believe in getting stuff off your chest too
Today, the tables are turned. 2021/2022 ECNL is the place to be if you want competition and the real challenge. I wish your goat could come over and play with us. I do wish both leagues nothing but the best I love ((my dd)) winning way more but you already knew that
Keep your eye on the ball. Ask any college coach and they will tell you that a player's environment is key to their development. Leagues are important but a stable environment and a happy athlete are more important.
Happy, it sucks though for kids stuck in the middle, again. This has been a complete and utter disaster for all of us. Stable environment my ass! I know of none unless of course your on the inside. No soccer or sports in socal for 12 months ((unless your on the inside)). No one is happy, Happy!
Kids are always stuck in the middle when adults are running things. Up to you to make your current environment stable. The league stuff will work itself out. A goat is a goat - college coaches know this.
You see, the problem is what you just said. I'm not judging you at all Happy. My big rub is the lack of competition and winning. Where is winning? This is BS if your about pure competition and winning. So Happy, you say it's up to me to make the environment stable? I dont get that logic bro. The club is the business and I'm the customer. Why is it up to me? A goat is a goat and the only true goats I know have to win and they have to be in the highest of highest competition.
You think? This is so easy to call. Hello, open your eyes folks. Can you see what I see or are you all blind? Where is Maps? Come back Maps, some need a big rebuke by you. Truth teller, please come back. Maps is the only one that tells it like it is. No sugar or spice to make everyone feel nice. Talk about hijacking a youth sport. Just wait until we see what's under the covers.....lol!!!
winning is over rated and does nothing to build character. Ask Michael Jordan.
I think it shouldnt be the end all, but it should be the goal at the end. Winning for many here is getting a deal and it stops there. I saw it for the last three years. I get it and that is why ECNL is awesome. I will only say that having winning attitude is what makes a true goat what to win the game, the tournament, the playoffs and the championship. We all come in different sizes, shapes and colors. To each his own
Not sure I agree there...winning might not be everything, but we all play to win, and what makes us better...losing. Losing builds character and there isn't one person out there that hasn't lost. Some are okay with losing and others absolutely despise it, so they work harder and are more determined not to lose, they want to be the best. So winning is what we all strive for, not sure how that doesn't build character? Because losing is going to come in the process, and for those that want to win, they will continue to put in the work.
