Seeking the best team for my elite daughter (former ECNL player in New Jersey) who has faced many obstacles

Is that Tad or AR taking notes? hmm

I never saw other coaches taking notes in my 11-year experience with Youth Soccer in SoCal except Tad. I remember when my baby goat was 10 years and balling in the Gt8t IE. My wife and I always planned to find a way back to Laguna beach if possible (little back drop AI writing bruh) and have my sweet dd ply for her old man's high school. I didn't share that news with anyone but my wife. Anyway, one day the great Tad came to one of my dd tournament games against Beach FC. I didn't pay any attention until the next day when coach told me about how the Blues recruit and how Tad & Rob poach other club's players. Coach said my kid was too small and too young to play Tads style of kickball and we should wait to drive from Temecula to the Ranch when my dd is in high school. I didn't tell her our plans and dreams to leave the IE for Laguna. He kept coming and my dd kept scoring and was playing lights out back in the day. It was so fun and yes Luis, my ego & dad pride was through the roof. I would pace up and down the field hoping my little one would get a big goal. The rest is history and my dd had a blast being coached by Tad and his four areas of a complete soccer player. I love Tad. BTW, Abner took mental notes so that could be the younger version of the guy on the right. I hope that helps.

Tad's reputation was kickball and destroy your opponent. Fast defenders on the wing and then kick it over the top for a chase and run down. He made cuts every year and many parents hated that their dd was cut for anything. Abner played possession (so he says but when push comes to shove, kickball shall be played) You do whatever it takes to win. When my dd was playing for Surf, we tricked the San Jose earthquakes and upset them. They were #1 on paper and with coach and talent. It;s the truth. However, just like UCI and their tough nose play, we upset the Quakes and today have bragging rights of being truly #1 04 team in the country in 2017.

Where is your daughter playing now?

First of all, where do you live and how far are you willing to travel? SoCal ECNL extends from Camarillo to San Diego. The distance between those clubs is a 4-5 hour trip with minimal traffic. Or are you going to say travel isn't a problem because you have a helicopter?

Whatever you do stay the farthest away from sharks
And if any of you are at sharks get out as fast as you can it is quickly becoming the cemetery for soccer players
It’s where they all come to die and end a soccer career!!!
