From my understanding was that there was a lot of drama between some players and some parents. Unfortunately it happens, this has nothing to do with him from what I heard speaking to some of the parents and clients. If some of the parents believed that they were underachieved, I would have to disagree considering that he put the team together in a short time. They did what a lot vs teams that have been together for a longer period time have not achieved. How many DD would like to be on a team that played CRL? How many would have liked to have played in NC on gotten as far as they did? I'm sure everyone can agree that there is always some sort of drama in a team whether its the coach, player or the parents. It's normal because we are all humans and we all have different mind sets.

Agreed. It's cool to see how much coach Carlos achieved this year in putting the FCGS team together in short period of time vs teams that been together longer. It'll be interesting to see if their successes help him sustain players he'll likely lose to DA clubs.

Lots of good teams came together this year due to the age regrouping. Quality coaching abounds. Hopefully the players (parents) stay the course and don't start jumping ship. DA grass isn't always greener.

Come on now. Without players and parents jumping ship, these boards get quiet. The best part about this time of the year is the reformation of teams across So Cal.
 
This year will be significant- girls not making DA teams do not appear to be going to second teams at their own club. They seem to be leaving their club and going to the rival clubs second team. Lots of movement but nothing firm until August.
Also lots of discussion and choices at the ECNL level choosing coach over brand. Parents seem to be more thoughtful in approach and process this year. Competition is proving to be good for the girls

If he loses players it is what it is...but it only leave room for players and parents that have been seeking a coach develop their DD. Where there is lose there can be a better gain only time will tell what he will get.

Deadpool, do you have personal experience with Carlos as a coach? Understand there was a group that left after the 1st round of NC because they were unhappy with the team. Maybe they thought the team underachieved all season? My understanding is they played with only 12 players the rest of the tournament. I'm sure their success was part of his coaching style but also the talent he had left on the field.

Underachieved? as quoted from their Try Out post:
"2016/2017 Results-
Qualified and Played in CRL
2 Surf Cups
1st place in CSL Gold Division
League Cup Champions
Quarter Finalist at National Cup"

Looks like they did a lot in a short amount of time. The players that left after the first week of NC were the players who were not attending practice for weeks leading up to NC because they were trying out for other clubs and DA's, so the coach rightfully didn't start these players and gave them limited playing time. These players (*cough their parents) left for their own selfish egos and disrespect to their teammates. I give the remaining girls huge credit for their loyalty and fight for playing 2 weekends with only 12 players. Huge congrats to the remaining 4 teams and best of luck.
 
BH ;) (lol I look the initials) ran a great session. I always try to 'Ear Hustle' but I couldn't over all the laughter.

BH is the only Lady Coach left in the hustle

BH is the only Coach that can look at her players and say 'Sisters Let's Go' at an All Sisters club, that is start running

BH doesn't have an accent

BH has both her team and her sideline Poplocking on the same beat ;)

How Purdy are those Wildflowers on the way to Galway Downs?

Good Luck to the other 3 teams and drive safe.

He has developed these players into the next chapter of new and exciting soccer next season and how sweet it would be if they win it all!! Good luck to all of the dd's this weekend! It will be exciting to catch the games and root everyone on! May the best team & Coach this weekend win!!

Are you talking about Brandi?
As in Brandon holley?
 
I must say this year through all the NC games, I never saw a single player give up. Every player gave it their all and played with heart. As always their were a few lucky and unlucky shots, and of coarse a couple refs who didn't know the game. But for the most part these are all good teams, playing at a high level and should be proud of their achievement. I know this weekend there will be a leader and NC champion determined. But from where I stand, all the girls who gave it their best shot and played with heart are Leaders and Champions in Life.
