Tatu's Sting 00' & 01' ECNL Open Tryout Schedule

This thread has turned into pure comedy!

What thread isn't?

I read these for laughs and the threads never fail to provide.

FWIW 90% of both rosters that played in Champions League at ECNL Nationals in Chicago 2 weeks ago are returning for next year.

This seems relevant...

Does that explain why 90% of players returned? Which of the 7 reasons do you think most parents used to justify the poor decision?

Players that were fed up with him did not see paying the expense to go to Chicago. 1,000 dollars before you even got on the plane.

*ze plane

Sorry, it was too easy.

Lol,

Thanks for sharing this fantastic video. Much appreciated.

I think it's also helpful to think about the differences in coaching girls vs. boys. As a male, I responded pretty well to hard-nosed coaches. This video interview with legendary UNC's women's coach, Anson Dorrance, was really helpful to me in thinking about the best way to support my DD in athletics. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't already seen it.

I'm reading this post and it is hilarious and sad at the same time. I don't feel Tatu abuse these pre-Adults. Y'all parents who are complaining are the ones their daughter didn't get the playing time they thought she would. everybody who comes to Tatu team knew before joining he take no prisoners. He is loud and he comes across rude to many of those that don't get to know him. I feel the girls are to soft and parents shield them from the real world. what yall think the college coach is going to do? be gentle with your child. college coach under more pressure to get the W to keep his thousand's of dollar job. Yelling will do two things...get your daughter in gear, or hurt her confidence. if yelling hurts your daughter confidence, she going to have very low confidence in the REAL world. And this is a pay to play system, so you have the choice to leave and take your money and daughter somewhere else. don't come on the site bashing Tatu. Thats the coward way. If you had issue with him take it up with him. How would you like for Tatu to come on this site and bash your daughter. he has alot of successful college girls that are performing well in college, and was able to adapt to their yelling college coaches. some of his old players attended Tatu bootcamp session this summer, and they spoke to the girls letting them know club soccer so much easier than college soccer. #pettyparents

Umm, what?

While he may not be for everyone, he will certainly help prepare players for the very similar coaching in college. I can assure you that college coaches are more like him than not. Not saying this is a good thing mind you, but just the truth.

Also, he met with my oldest for 30-60 minutes before she joined the team. I believe some were saying how others do this and he doesn't. I could have misread though.

The good thing, if you play for me and your DD is not one of the top 10 players, you can pay me a few grand on the side and she can be...if you know what I mean.

Quick, quick, quick, quick b.s.

Roster of 24 to start the season paying full price plus all the extra expense. 8 players will either quit or be gone due to the hate this ass hole spews towards these players before December. JD will have his work cut out for him answering all the calls.

Tatu is a good coach. I suspect it may be time to move on.

Ohhh ok. I was beginning to believe all these different people and stories and such. Glad I didn't, thanks.

That a b.s. statement, but each to his own opinion.

Please check out the FC Dallas walk of fame if you happen to be there (Tatu is). He's made an actual contribution to NTX soccer.

He doesn't coach my DD but I'm familiar with his style. The stories of Tatu being passionate, rigorous and demanding are indeed true. If you would prefer low expectations and an easy time by all means move on. Otherwise add another post to the thread. It's obviously working ?

Like you stated. You have zero knowledge of what your saying. Let's not confuse passion and coaching for treating young ladies like shit.

I hear what you are trying to say newbie but it's two separate things. Having passion and love for game is very different from how to treat people. I don't question his love for game.
