No it was not my child. I saw this first hand and a couple other of the almost same it was flat out abuse to little girls by this person Romero. Go talk to this 1/2 wit Bro this Bro that idiot, look at him and his actions, he is a complete tool.
That is because ER is an asshole. Watch out for DR and ML at Albion as well. There are also some good coaches at Albion. All clubs have a mix of coaches, some good, some not so good, some that should be avoided. Some clubs have a few great coaches, and they are not always the big clubs.
DR is probably Dan, one of the boys coaches. I assume ML is Michal Lynn? On the old forum there was a post about her being a PE teacher at High Tech middle school and pulling kids out of class to question them about why they were trying out at a different club. She now works full time at Albion I believe? Those loyal that are willing to do the dirty work are rewarded at Albion like DR who is also full time.
Thanks for calling the A hole by name. These clowns think that being a girls soccer coach somehow puts them in the upper echelon of society. You are a kids soccer coach, just like the dad that coaches AYSO. Parents are sitting on a stool like a lion at the circus. the coach acts like the lion tamer. The lions are too busy looking at the whip to realize they could destroy the tamer with one swipe.
Now for another perspective... We have had DR as a coach for the last two years and I would have to disagree with you. His teams are not for the weak. He instills discipline and does not let the inmates run the asylum (parents or players). Has he sat players for running their mouth and not doing what they were told, yes. Does he do things like not starting someone because they missed practice or were late, yes. Do all of his players shake his hand after practice and say thanks, sure. Its called learning to be a man. Oh yeah, he has cut several players who couldn't cut it. In my experience he has taken weak teams and progressed them through the flights quite successfully. If your a snowflake or raising your sons to be, then yes get out. If your interested in your sons learning discipline and responsibility then you will have no problem. As for youngers, I believe he is the director and has been for many years. If there really was a problem don't you think that something would be done about it. Considering the amount and extent of the entitlement mentality that exists in club soccer.
agreed
This isn't every coach out there. Coaches get plenty of respect. One nut on every team but that goes with the territory. The same 10% of parents cause 90% of the problem for any coach. I was talking about a coach being an Ass to a 15 yo girl. This had nothing to do with how they talk to me. Im an adult so they will use a different tone. The reason people treat other people like crap is because they think they can. I guarantee he wouldn't talk to his boss' daughter like that.
First off, none of my kids have been on DR's team. DR treats the players he needs with respect. It is the way he treats players that he doesn't think meet his standards of play that is the problem. DR has been disrespectful and demeaning to many players over the years which is why several people warned me about him (including ex-players that are now adults) when my son played at Albion. I don't think learning to be a man involves letting people in positions of authority be disrespectful to children. My son is no longer at Albion, but I have great respect for his old coach (LS) and have recommend him to people.
