You have made my day.
I am not the orge my post may have depicted. And while I hate that coach the situation is very complicated. We have a relationship with the coach. My wife played with her in HS, our daughters played on our Travel Team for 2 years (they left this year), and girls are in the same class and play on the same school teams (VB, BB, SB). And beside the bruises from the sliding she can not do much more damage.
The point I was trying to make is that letting our kids suffer is probably the best gift we can give them at times. I am not talking about spirit killing, but it is OK IMO if they are unhappy and miserable at times. It should not be the theme of their childhood but the bitter taste of the unfair aspects of life will help them learn and go. I guess for me I would not pull my DD from a team for lack of playing time, but I would for destructive verbal abuse.
I only have one child (3 girls 1 boy) who has shown the type of drive and ability to play D1 or D2 athletics. And she will probably be too short to play D1. I doubt she will get over 5'2". But I will not tell her that as it will not stop her dream regardless. The rest need to keep hitting the books.
