SDS

My daughter had a soccer coach for years (who now coaches girls DA), who suffered greatly form this. He taught possession for years in a single-minded focus. Yet, some of the good players he had at U9 weren’t so good at U11 and he couldn’t see it. They got all the playing time and they were turnover machines. So, I tracked possession. Did our team retain or lose possession after a player last touched a ball? My daughter, who was on the bench, had team best 80% possession numbers. Which is what *I* saw, but he didn’t. His favorite player since U9? 17%. Team worst. I did this for several games before he finely tuned out his old bias and saw the game for what was actually happening today and not 2 years ago.

It’s just that it’s hard to discuss something if you don’t know what it says.

I’m not sure what percentage of readers here have subscriptions to the Athletic.

So, this topic is about Phil’s dismissal. There is a specific topic dedicated and pinned to talking about Todd M.

Could you all do this in the appropriate topic and not one meant as a joke?

We have logs that record every action to posted content. Nothing. We have a trash bin for deleted content. Nothing. This is beyond bizarre.

I can't find it anywhere.

weird.

“Nothing has been defined...”

Phil could have had the rug pulled out from under him though. He may have felt he had the greenlight to implement his system of the future and the team would be patient with him.

Last game of the season. 7-1 drubbing. Nothing to see here.

What body language was that?

Nowhere to go but down.

I would like to note that despite his legs being taken out and crashing into the post - no one did anything. It’s almost like jumping on top of people and punching their face in isn’t a thing in the NHL anymore. ?

I was pulling for this outcome tonight. Nice that he got it done.

? times zones are usually a full hour.

That sounds like he is staying.

BTW, thank you for everything that you do to keep us updated. ???

I guess we need a “Yikes!” emoji.

Honestly, I hope to never hear the name Ryan O’Reilly or any other reference to him for the rest of my life.

How do you know about his weight gain and the composition of that weight?
