Coming up on Tryout season and It drives me crazy the things I hear months later from parents. Parents that say things like, we hardly practice or I don't like the Tournaments the Coach picked or We are not doing enough Tournaments. The Coach made promises and didn't keep them. I don't like the Budget that was given to me. The Coach is favoring some players. Playing Time issues and on and on.
Am I missing something? There are so many Travel Teams out there, why wouldn't you do your homework? Why would you go to a tryout when there hasn't even been a Coached named for a Team or find out how many openings there are on a Team? Its a long year, why take that chance? I know its a very stressfull time for all involved but wouldn't a good plan and good research make things a lot easier than flying by the seat of your pants! I am a big believer in commitment and when I see a kid quit a Teams in the middle of the season, It drives me nuts! Who fault is it? Most likely its not the kid, and they are the one that suffers. Knowledge is power!
