From College coach to U14B in 2024 in Mid-TN local Club. I reach out to this coach requesting a quick evalaution as I'm plannng my son's winter training program and never head back from him. My sonand other players have complained about head coach missing 30-35% of practices in '24 Fall season. had assistant coach run practices. Couple of occassions he leaft practices early. He does understands the younger generatio's slang, communication and understanding of the game, may be a good coach for College and highschool players but not U14's. Lack of leadership, he lets co-managers run the team and dictate direction of the team. Not a fit a coach for younger players.

Coach Keye is a very strong leader for his athletes. He provides necessary tools and motivation for his athletes to grow multiple times past what they thought they could. He is an athletes coach, and sees the true potential of his team.

Let’s start with the cons because there are a lot; 1. Limited knowledge of the game- has no business coaching at any level past U14. 2. Extremely disorganized- never plans a session, trip or event well. When we show up to practice there’s nothing set up 90% of the time, he then just comes out 5 minutes before practice is due to start or sometimes even later and puts down a few cones.. this leads to my next point… 3. Practices are very repetitive, pointless and lacks any direction. 80% of the practices are 5vs5 or 1vs1/2vs1/3vs2. Never anything tactical that deals with organizing a team tactically. 4. Extremely lazy- does the absolute bare minimum I would even go as far as saying below minimum. For example: he’s very rarely in his office, in two years we have never got a proper scouting report on an opponent instead it’s just “ watch #10 he’s good watch # 7 he’s fast. Never have we ever watched film on ourselves or any opponent, in two entire seasons..NEVER. He’s the last one in to training and first one out, while we’re taking off our cleats he’s already driving out the parking lot. In the spring he cancels 50% of practices. It’s almost as if he’s stealing a living. Lack of insight- Never has the tactical solution to problems being encountered. “Go out there and figure it out” is his favorite line at half-time in a game where we’re being out played tactically. Poor man management- lacks the ability to manage a squad, very normal to see very good players leaving even before season or semester is finished due to poor management and communication. Has a select few elites that get away with literally anything and has no affect on their status, position or playing time. When he communicates he tells you what you want to hear and what’s easiest to say in meetings but does the total opposite. Pros- 1. If you’re a player who enjoys freedom and limited management then his coaching style will work for you. 2. He will support you through rough patches- if you’re struggling for form and could see you’re trying he will support you. In conclusion, Coach Davies has no business coaching soccer at the college level, he is an imposter and needs to do the right thing and get a regular day job.

Recreational level coach, who cancels/no shows practice regularly with little to no explanation.

This coach will suitor a prospective player for a while. When your student gets there and has signed, he locks his practices, screams at them, publicly intimidates then, and hasn’t succeeded until he makes them cry, all before the first game of the season. He’s an adult bully. His new starters have all expressed their desire to leave after this year. Why has this continued for so long!??
