This coach does not promote a team environment! He creates division amongst the team of starters and everyone else and since he treats the "everyone else" group like they do not matter, the starters also treat them that way. Do not bother trying to talk to the coach about things because he will just tell you what you want to hear to get you out of his office and nothing will ever change. He sets his mind on who he wants to play and that will not change, no matter how hard you work or try to improve. If someone does get a chance, it will be a couple minutes and the coach will look for the slightest thing to criticize the player for and take them off. A starter could do the same thing and they are praised, but someone off the bench will get criticized for it. Even if you were doing what he wanted, he will say you weren't, just so he doesn't have to play you again. The starters never do fitness. Only the non starters do fitness and if the starters play bad, the non starters have to do extra fitness. Basically if you are a starter you can do whatever you want and play as bad as you want, because you will still start and still play almost all of the game, regardless of how you play. The starters know they are guaranteed a starting position and playing almost the entire game and have no competition to perform. The only players that get to practice what is wanted for the next game is the starters. No one from the everyone else group gets to practice the game plan, they have to do other things somewhere else on the field so they have no idea what to do if they were to even get a chance. Then of course this coach will yell at them for not implementing the game plan, if they did get a couple minutes on the field. The coach will lie and tell you that you will get playing time if you just stick with it, but that never happens. If a goal is scored, it is automatically blamed on the subs, even if no subs were in at the time...it was the result of subbing 1 player at one point during the game for a couple minutes and as a result even less minutes are seen by the bench the next game. The goals are NEVER the result of something a starter did or didn't do. There is so much talent sitting on the bench, that is going to waste with this coach. I would stay clear of this coach no matter what he tells you, as most of it will be a lie.
