So would she be considered the top goat in North Texas for the girls 2010 age group?

No. The greatest of all time is a tough standard.

Besides my kid ate the entire 72 ounce steak meal at the Big Texan and then walked on water afterwards as if it was dry land. And she's only three. So wait til she gets there, then we can talk about all time.

lol. Good one. It’s all good. When you have a good player it’s exciting cause man you know it’s like we practicing with them. All the hours spent working hard and teaching them the fundamentals etc. it’s fun. But yea I was a bit too competitive in the past. I was all about them winning games and developing the technical side as well. I always thought it was important. So when my daughter first joined the team she came
in at the bottom of the totem pole. She was just fast and much clumsier then the rest of the girls who had been there already. She was around 6 when she started the club but was in AYSO the year prior. She was fast and quick that’s about it. So I decided and said to myself. I’m gonna turn her into the best player on this team. So we started trainings outside of practice. Usually 30 min to 1 hour a day on the days we didn’t have team practice.

After about a month I noticed she already had caught up to the rest of them and was at their same level. So I decided to take her to classes. Striking classes. Foot work, ball control. And she just kept getting better and better the more she practiced. So I told all the parents about it and they pretty much shined me off like nah we don’t need to do that we good with the coach’s practice. They too young for that anyways. So I was like cool. I’ll just keep making my daughter better. It was around summer time 2017 and I threw her in a soccer camp from morning to afternoon. Picked her up after work. It was that or pay a baby sitter so I was like it’s a no brainer. 500 a week for 3 months but we’ll worth it. By the time camp was done we went to our first surf tournament. She was balling. Was the leading scorer and top defender for the team now. So I then got her a private trainer ex pro player. Taught her how to kick with the right formation and just kept on making her better. Still trains her today weekly. She trains m-f and Olaya weekend games. So to the main part why I got banned. Cause Like I said way too competitive and there was a game semifinal. We needed the win couldn’t tie. We had this team and all of a sudden coach throws a curve ball and moves all the girls around. They all lost and confused. To make long story short I lost it that day. My daughter blew a pass and the other team scored.  Grabbed my chair and slammed it on the floor. Then cussed out the coach and left. I was super frustrated cause we had a few players that just were falling way behind and it was always the same story. Get into quarters or semis then get knocked out cause they couldn’t keep up that with my daughter blowing the pass just made me lose it. But hey it was a cold wake up call. And I felt terrible after. I realized I was taking this soccer thing way too serious especially the winning part. I’m cool now and have toned down quite a bit. But have in no way changed my ways in the way I feel about training and practices. She’s gotten so used to it that if she misses a day cause we are just to busy. She be bitchin at me for not taking her. I love it. That’s the attitude I like. So up there in the other forum. I’m battling everyone. Everybody be knocking me down. Saying hey man you doing it the wrong way. You can’t be training like that. She’s too young. She’s gonna burn out when she’s 15. They think I have her on a leash like a slave but I tell them it ain’t like that. She’s the one wanting to improve and get better. She’ll watch YouTube soccer videos and even analyze some clips of games. We go over mistakes that her and her teammates make and she learns. But everyone down there is crucifying me for doing this. At the end of the day she is happy. We have a great relationship and it’s working out for us. She’s turned into a baller now and what can they tell me. I’m doing it wrong? The proof is in the pudding. Now everybody from our team is doing the extra practices and we’ve moved up the rankings. But keep in mind we just a homegrown teams never recruited like the other big clubs do. So that’s what makes it special. And my daughter is the top player on the team. That’s my story so far. Just taking it day by day and trying to do great things and have her be the best she can be. So far so good. I’ll be back next season with a brand new attitude much more calm of course. Everybody be saying coach should have kicked us out but hey he didn’t and we all know why. MVP. She’s valuable to the team. I’m sure if she wasn’t good we be out of the team.

I feel everybody just going about club soccer the wrong way. There are too many parents with different views and goals that it creates conflict. I wrote a post on the problem and issue the US is facing...here’s my view. What you guys think?


Soccer is an entertainment act for millions of children in the summer, but that does not result in a greater and better quality of American professional players.


The United States is sportily dominated by three giant Goliath’s who cannot be defeated by any David. Baseball, football and basketball have invaded the homes of citizens, who seem to grow up believing that the rest of sports are just games that serve to kill leisure. Under this mentality and within the framework of a country where economic stability and social order allow us to bet on projects without a crisis throwing away what we have worked on, has found a small space. This place is so narrow that it even had to be renamed "soccer" to enter into the language of the fans.

By the power of millions, Major League Soccer (MLS) has managed to seduce star players that any club in the world longs to have. These arrivals, coupled with the Latin influence coming mainly from Mexico and Central America, have given the league some competitiveness, but it has yet to find its identity. For this, it takes a deep work of the teams in the lower divisions that has begun, but that does not seem to bear fruit. To understand why the results are not in sight, it is necessary to understand how the foundations of soccer work.


Unlike the NBA or Major League Baseball, MLS teams are clubs and not franchises, so there is a place for the development of the inferior. Parents expect that coaches are going to magically develop players who spend on avg 3 hours total weekly with a team in practice. I’m sorry but that’s recreational sport type of practice hours. Kids will never develop into elite technical players like that. The clear differentiation between professional and recreational is not well defined in clubs and is intermingled within the pay to play system. So how do the youngest develop their soccer skills? Children who play soccer don't usually watch soccer. The United States has a system in which schools and clubs that do not have MLS equipment work together so that the younger ones are constantly active. Between March and October, with a recess in June, most schools, depending on the climate that prevails in the area, stop their sports activity and that's when these complexes come into action.

Those whose main activity is soccer usually receive about 1,500 children who come with the obligation to only have fun and train to enjoy a sport that parents do not see as a future source of work. "The child is going to play, not be a soccer player. Yes the act of playing a sport needs to be fun, but pathway to professional soccer needs to be competitive and non entitled and should reward and incentivize the student who puts more effort to become better outside of team practice. All of these clubs are private and the seasonal fee is around $ 1600-2500 so few can afford this luxury. In addition, these institutions rent the facilities to universities or other entities. When the season is over, they close their doors. One particularity that unites soccer-playing kids is that they "don't watch soccer," Far from wearing their favorite team's jersey or talking about what happened at soccer stadiums over the weekend, kids have fun kicking a ball while wearing NBA franchise or baseball team apparel. Clubs organize regional tournaments to encourage competition. Parents often choose soccer for the full training it provides and to avoid harming their children's health. Several studies indicate that sports such as American football have consequences for professional players and this "has alerted families,"

All this system is accompanied by applications for telephones and mobile devices that both the clubs and the entities in charge of organizing the regional tournaments. There is way to much structure and politics in youth soccer. All this takes away from the actual fun of playing the sport and the seriousness of the competitiveness for others. There needs to be a hard cutoff and clear line distinction between recreational and competitive soccer inside the club system. Which for many clubs it does not exist. If not you will always have differentiated mentalities among parents which can lead to problems within teams. Clubs are forced to keep the majority of parents happy. Which includes both the serious ones and the ones treating it as a hobby. Why? Because if they don’t they lose money. Youth soccer in the US is like socialism. What happens when you have a fair, play all, equal system with low fanaticism in the pool of players. Well, we see the results in the players we produce. You get back what you put in. The incentive is not there to be great at it and master it. In this structure where fun is the main objective, fanaticism has no place. Fanaticism is what creates super stars. Kids obsessed with players, teams and practicing. Coaches have an obligation to promote "fair play as the main value and this is demanded by clubs and parents," The children's relatives usually watch the matches from the stands, although far from living them with euphoria, they just enjoy that their children are having a good time.

Clubs train twice and play one game a week. Coaches are also obliged to make twice a year a report of each player that summarizes his balance, in order to justify a possible change of team within its category, either by improvement or by involution, placing them in team A.B,C. These politics inside clubs coupled with the entitlement mentality and the differentiating opinions towards development, competitiveness and recreational are killing the growth of the sport and the production of elite world wide players. A country that puts soccer second to the three giants and that has no fanaticism within the youngers base will never develop super star soccer players. This whole system, which could be used to create footballers and finally make the United States a world power, aims to remove smiles from young people, instead of training them as professionals.


The MLS feeds on stars who are close to retirement and on Latino footballers. However, even if the boys dreamed of being soccer stars, reality would slow them down. MLS does not have enough teams in a country with a population of more than 320 million. This cocktail, added to the stars who arrive in the league year after year, makes it practically impossible for a child to become a soccer star in the United States. That's why this structured and organized system is struggling to bear the winning fruit.

I praise you for that. She’s a great player way above the average player and a definite contender for a top player of the age group. Let me tell you most people wouldn’t won’t dare to share cause you probably right. They don’t have the cards to show. It’s rarity and for me I’m proud of it because it just proves that what I’m doing with her is working. And all the hater can keep talking cause they are not getting the same results because of their ways. That’s why I just laugh at all the dudes over there talking smack and they don’t even know how to train or make their daughters better in the sport yet they think they know the right way.

I do gotta say the team moves the ball exceptionally well compared to most 2010 girl teams. Wether the completion is good or not there, you can’t deny the fast ball movement and possession soccer they show. That’s a great thing to see at such a young age.

You guys heard of Olivia Moultrie, the 13 year old that went pro. Last year. Her little sister used to play for our team before they moved up north. I asked her Dad what she looked like at 9 years old and he had sent me this video. This is what she looked like at the same age our daughters at now.

Why? Cause nobody be posting anymore? You still here reading.

This thread alone has almost doubled in views since 5 days ago. So people looking. They just got no cards to throw down I guess.

One of the key things you want to look for when looking at young soccer players talent is reaction time and how do they move at a young age. Lateral quickness. Do they scan the field. You don’t have to be that big or tall or even that fast on a straight away. But if you naturally have the others you’ll have a huge advantage later down the line as long as you keep getting more technical in the process. Can you think quick.

I just love how something done in December2019 can take credit for an event that ALLEGEDLY happened years ago.
but in all seriousness, how does amped up participation kill the forum?
is there a "type of topic" restriction that I don't know about? is there a permission slip we forgot to sign? maybe a sensitivity waiver that I didn't get the memo on?

I chuckled out loud because that comment reminded me of “old school vs new school” debates. The old heads just won’t agree with what the new school’s opinionS are of what’s good and the new school thinks the old heads are lame and outdated.(especially in regards to music)

ABM, I get your sentiment as far as dialoging but this thread turned into a “look at my kid” subject matter so I think it got views to see how far these two guys would go. It’s like watching two winos argue, you know it ain’t right but your gonna still watch anyway in hopes that some punches are thrown.

In this case, nothing mean was said. That’s flipping boring.

OK, I'm game............Here's my card to throw down........Even made the news..........

don't talk to me like you know me fella!
you don't know if im old school or new school.
Luis said his kid was " the goat " so instead of blowing out his candle, i lit mine.
then you busters added your unwanted opinions so we now want you to pi** or get off the pot.
and most of the privileged who frequently lurk these boards have never seen a wino in real life. maybe a drunk uncle.
timmyh and myself tried to get mean with caliboy Luis but he doesn't bite the bait...hes trolling NTX flawlessly.

Congratulations to Colvin10g for going to Round Rock and winning?
Anyone know how the competition was. Looked favorable to me.
Maybe this will get them out of their mini-slump

Like I’m upset that I wasn’t honest about his video being horrible with terrible music and annoying yet constant sound effects that made me not even really watch it long enough to give my unwarranted assessment of his daughters skill set.

I mean he added a sound for every touch on the damn ball...good grief!! That’s like watching kids hit their parents!!

(Meaning I wanted to take over and make things right my damn self)

I was enjoying reading your tales, thinking it was light-hearted soccer talk. But then someone came along talking about his guns being big enough to win the war. It made we wonder what we were talking about. What war? Apparently, the war being fought over who is the greatest 9-year-old soccer player, as judged from a few 8 seconds video clips. I then realized this was not light-hearted for some (and likely not at all about 9-year-old children either). Good luck to you and your DD, Luis.

they're 2010, I've seen plenty of talent in NTX that you have not played against in the 2010"s that are as good or better.
