Bod, exactly what Futbal said, licenses are like youknowwhats. They do not mean crap in regards to coaching ability. The only thing licenses do is get you a better job at a higher level, and that isn't even necessary in most cases.

NTX Coaching license clinics are a joke.  They make you jump through hoops to do all the curriculum, but end up giving everyone the license if you have half a brain. I know this from experience as I have gone through most of their courses.

I love how the list of coaches included all big names in big clubs, that probably none of you know.  If any of you have ever watched sting black you would know that their coach is a complete disaster and that team is made up of girls twice the size of everyone else and all they do is play overly aggressive and bulldoze everyone...literally. The coach is a maniac. They A D-3 independent/small club team lost to them 3-0 and 2-0, and the fact checkers above want to put an asterisk next to that information, when that team is actually ranked 40th in US rankings, but just don't have the pool of girls, because they are a start up club.  So if you ask me, that team's coach seems to know what he's doing if you take a rec team and make the highest division your first year as a club and play the "best" team in the country that well.  All that to say, DTS is by far the better skilled team and has the better coach.  Putting SB's coach in the ring for best coaches in NTX is ridiculous!

My only advice to soccerperson is all coaches have different skill-sets. Be specific in what you want and then find the right fit (i.e. if you want a screaming lunatic coach with no ability to coach skill, go with SB -Gutierrez..she is not the only one, but it drives me insane that people think she is a good coach!, if you want to actually have your child learn skills and the game properly, there are a ton of coaches that can do that for you).

I get the new Alias name and how it matches the comments...Clever!  Very good sarcasm...Can’t blame you as the forum has been very slow as of late.

You started somewhat coherent. Then you lost it. But am guessing you are an FC Fusion parent. 40th in NTX (per YSR), 492 in the country. Sorry to burst your bubble, but several of the SB 06s were playing an 05 ECNL game that weekend back in September. And check the recent DTS/SB results in big national tournaments.  I’ll wait for your response....

AG has done an incredible job with that team.

I absolutely agree with everything you said.  My only contention was that specific coaches (The one I mentioned) are not worth the accolades.  Everyone you mentioned is absolutely fine in my book.

Regarding licenses, you have no idea what "I know so well", but if you need me to boast, I will tell you, I have my C license and know all of the instructors at NTX.  Just so we are clear, I don't talk out of my backside. I only talk about things I know about and I try to be objective as possible with my opinions.

My argument is toward the big club costs for coaching that may not be as good as independent smaller club coaching. I just don't like the bias of "big clubs are better just because"!

Blitz is horrible coaching! Fever has both (good and bad). Union is horrible coaching. FC Fusion has top notch coaching. FC Dallas has a couple good coaches (the rest are horrible, but still get paid)! Spirit has a couple good coaches. Sting Coaches are horrible from top to bottom. Texans, by far have great coaches from top to bottom. TNT has good coaches. Liverpool good coaching. D'Feeters have 1-2 good coaches (none from the recent merger). Solar and Mutiny are both horrible coaching from top to bottom.  

These opinions are based off of watching these coaches at practices and games.

Thank you for listening to my expertise and omnipotent views! your welcome for making you smarter! hahaha

So you basically just proved my point. FC Fusion is 40th in NTX as an independent, which means that all those big clubs have parents paying outrageous prices for *LANGUAGE WARNING* coaching and crappy experiences that are ranked lower! FC dallas alone has 40+ teams and many of them behind many independent teams. As does Sting, Solar, Texans, etc.

That was and is my only point! Big clubs are not the only option and often times are a rip off! STING Especially!

Hands down the most entertaining post ^ I've ever had directed to me.

Apologies for my misunderstanding ... Coulda sworn you said "NTX Coaching license clinics are a joke".  Does make me wonder where you got your "C" though.  And I know the guys too ... even instructed myself in the past (no offense taken, BTW).

Helluvan absolutely subjective overview of a few of the NTX club coaching staffs there Sir.  However, I have to say I disagree with you on most of it.  What is especially impressive is that you have knowledge of and have seen of every coach at Solar, FC Dallas, Sting, D'Feeters, LP and Texans ... some 400+ of 'em -- you must be super tired.  Good stuff indeed!

Given the content here, it seems you know even less about me than I did about you.  I do appreciate the education though there Coach

I'm glad someone else knows what the hell they are talking about (Sick).  My reference wasn't to every single coach in all the clubs, just the coaches you all mentioned, as well as some others that were not.

I'm not a coach, I have nothing to do with Fusion, and was never a part of Sting (as a parent, coach or employee). My emotions are in check, as I cry daily.

Now, next time you see me, make sure to shake my hand and congratulate me.

P.S. Why only 9 points? Where is Tony Reali? This is a "scam"....see what I did there?

Greetings scam7!

Sure ... There is certainly "more to NTX than the big clubs", but saying that the coaches at what you might consider the big clubs are only pointed out here because they have the best players is a bit silly -- a rather rudimentary viewpoint isn't it?  Take a few of the coaches mentioned in this particular thread for example ... Pulp (came to Solar from LP), Mariscal (FCD from Fever), JM (DFeeters from Kicks) --

Not to say that (just like players) there aren't talented coaches at the smaller clubs (and please ... make them known here for those that are interested if you know of any), but these (and many other) very talented coaches that have (and some that have not) been mentioned here, are at the big clubs because they built a solid reputation + wells of talent themselves.  Not to mention for a few other good reasons ...

superior platforms that they feel are best for their kids, coaching elite teams that are able to compete on a national level, fantastic facilities, proper organization, consistent pay, etc.

This may be yet another in a long list of misconception, but for the most part, these coaches brought their kids over with them ... They weren't handed all of the talent just 'because'.

Regarding your contention towards licensing.  You're absolutely right that the G/F/E licenses you know so well are, for the most part, immaterial when it comes to a coach's ability to coach.  The best coaches are those that have both experience and engagement ... and to get your C/B/A licenses, those attributes are absolutely prerequisite.  So by saying that licenses are "youknowwhats" and "don't mean crap" is, once again, a touch rudimentary, don't ya think?
