I am trying to figure out what the problem is here at Highlands...

 

Can someone post the starters for Highlands so I can make my own assessment as to why so much parent hating is going on...

 

Has something changed this yr as far as coaching goes? The former coach was less than spectacular as he might want you to think he was...Now he did play the kids that the parents wanted to see on the field so maybe this is the problem this yr...Coach Weifering is most probably playing the best players and is not worried about who mommy and daddy might think they are and how much weight they think they carry with the program. Apparently it is none as Coach W is doing it his way and could care less what the parents think

 

Again...Girls Soccer, it can be at times sooooo exhausting:thumb:

 

All sports can be exhausting when you are dealing with selfish players and parents who interfere bc their kid isn't playing enough. I don't know anything about HHS or soccer but I will GUARANTEE you hit the nail on the head. Not playing the powerful parents' kid has been the demise of more than one coach. You can find it on almost every forum on BGP (sadly more than one example).

 

In NKY, most notably the resignation of the entire NDA Volleyball coaching staff last season. The staff Included the varsity coach (alum, 8 years on staff, multiple regional championships, marquee win over perennial power Assumption, state runner up), varsity assistant (alum and decorated D1 athlete), JV Head (alum, 25 year coaching veteran, undefeated vs NKY teams, 2 time JV State Champs, 1 time JV State Runner Up, multiple marquee wins over both Cincy and Louisville schools including Assumption), JV Asst (alum, 8 years with the program) and Frosh Head Coach (10 year coaching veteran, 3 years varsity experience, two top 10 National finishes with NKYVC and now VARSITY head coach at Seton HS). The senior parents at NDA didn't agree with the playing time the senior athletes were getting. The emails, phone calls, behavior in the stands was an embarrassment to the entire NDA community. The climax being when a father assaulted two of the female coaches, AD and principal basically looked the other way.

 

Unless the HHS administration puts their foot down NOW and does so firmly, this is a losing situation.

Well...

 

Nobody can run a coach out of town better than the PHM:thumb:

 

Heck, I am afraid of those people over there and I live in Campbell Cty

You people need to go back and read the threads about HHS soccer, the problems going on are not about playing time. Every team has some player/parent who thinks the are not getting enough playing time, but that is not the problem at HHS. Nobody has got on here complaining about playing time, in fact the coach probably subs too much, he has players running in and out constantly.

So if it's not playing time, what is the problem?

Once all the 'layers' are peeled back, this is, indeed about playing time. The other complaints are all smoke and mirrors with no credibility. A parent's approval or disapproval of their kid's coach is, 99% of the time, directly correlated with how much their kid plays. That's just the nature of youth sports now a days. The fact that his daughters are involved in the program only make his situation worse. He will NEVER be supported, his kid will never be respected or congratulated for anything she rightfully earns and her whole career will be tainted with him coaching. He should just resign right now...not for the good of the program (he is probably more than qualified to coach a middle of the road high school team) but for the good of his sanity and his daughter's. It's just not worth it.

Anyone that goes to the games will see that the coach's daughter gets very little playing time. She probably got more playing time last year, playing for someone else. It's the hardest position on the field being the coach's child.

 

I have trouble thinking how anyone taking this head coaching position could succeed with the amount of negative parent involvement.

 

How are the players supposed to learn to respect their coach and be a positive role model for the younger players when all they hear is negativity? Why would they want to step up and be a leader? Parents disrespecting the coach in front of players and other parents is not okay.
