Any comments from the players or ex coaches about the present state of the program. I.e., comments about present commitments we have received. Specifically interested in comments about Smikle, Popoola, & Onwuchekwa and maybe Barnstable.
I remember distinctly when I started to have semi serious thoughts about college, and where I might want to go. I was 11(2nd half of the year & 12( 1st half) when those thoughts began. It might not be too early to have very basic exploratory conversations with her pointed in that direction. These weren't when people began talking to me about college, but when I began semi serious thought about the issue.Thank you for the wisdom. Our primary goal right now is to keep her in a positive, challenging environment as she is heavily motivated by stretch goals and growth. At eleven years old it feels early to be making decisions about future college aspirations, but that's why I'm on this board -- to learn from those that have more experience. Our path so far has been to use soccer as a life lessons tool, but her hard work, and commitment has pushed her into the club system as we couldn't find the challenging environments (i.e., higher level of play) outside of it and she was stagnating.
Thanks for sharing.I was able to attend the Induction Ceremony last night.
Orher inductees were Paul Smith, Taleya Mayberry, Jill Barrett, Bill Brogden and Rick Dickson with the Golden Legacy Award.
The entire 1999 - 2000 basketball team was in attendance.
Most of the coaching staff attended, along with the majority of the support staff.
Bill Self had an out of the country commitment before he knew about the HOF induction. His wife Cindy and a daughter were in attendance. Bill had a nice video message, which was great.
There were some great photo opportunities of the entire basketball team on the stage. Unfortunately, we can't attach photos.
The event was well attended and a lot of applause throughout the event.
Bruce Howard was the Master of Ceremonies.
I spoke to several of the players and had good conversations with them. More than one player I spoke to, thanked me for being a fan and mentioned how we had the Reynolds Center rocking back in those days.
A lot of great memories were brought back last night.
I will echo what everyone has said about Nathan. Just a solid coach and a really good human. Now I’m not near as enthusiastic about some of the other upper level girls coaches currently at TSC which could become an issue down the road if the staff remains intact. However, Nathan and Jake Simpson are as good as it gets locally on the girls side imo.Thank you for the wisdom.

Thank ya'll for the recommendations, we do private training right now and have a good sampling of local options. Samba, t90, Tecnico (haven't asked JM directly but I've assumed he isn't adding to his private list with other things taking his attention so we train when we attend with Ciaran), and we supplement with Futsal. We rotate camps, clubs, coaches, etc. so she can get different inputs from different styles. We do keep her with a 1:1 small group training with a TSC coach (Luka) weekly who is absolutely amazing. I don't want to give the wrong idea that we overload her with private training as we don't take advantage of all of these options regularly. We've been doing it a few years and so we've rotated through many of the options. I think they all have something wonderfully unique to contribute. But take that with a grain of salt as I'm not a soccer coach and I've never played.
If John Michael is still doing pt I think his is your first option followed by Samba, and I’ve never heard of T90.

Samba or t90futbol are great options.
Our academic performance package looks significantly better, after taxes, than what some schools in CUSA can offer role players in revenue sharing. He's likely getting more than that, but how the deal is structured these days can mean much more than what you are getting paid for players in our typical price range. FIU definitely has funding issues. Without a rapper paying for his name on the stadium, the program as a whole might have folded a few years ago.No kidding. Signs with Nebraska. Transfers to Miami. Transfers and signs with FIU then transfers to TU shortly after he transferred to FIU.
We obviously pay more than FIU.
Your daughter is at the age where she needs to seriously start thinking about her soccer goals. It’s difficult to give advice without knowing her ultimate objective with soccer.Thank you both for your insights. We've trained enough with Joao that I feel I have a good understanding of his strengths and growing edges from a parent perspective. If we move to the 2014 age group though he will not be an option as he isn't coaching the 14s.
