Which player would you choose ?

As far as I'm concerned, you could be the worst prima donna ever, and order your parents around like little puppets, while every girl on the bench hates you, and still I would not care.As long as you were the type of skilled player needed to help the team win a national event.

This kid right here will never get recruited to play college ball. Maybe you should care a little bit.

Any girl that orders her parents around will never play for me!!!

The problem, and possibly the original poster intended this, is that the general "set-up" uses phrases such as "prima donna" and "orders her parents around" while the more specific set-up doesn't necessarily incorporate those characteristics into the second player. I don't think that teammates have to be best friends, and if teammates react poorly to a player simply because she is quiet and doesn't do a lot with them off the ballfield, then I think that is a teaching opportunity for the coaching staff to have the teammates think about whether the player's conduct is disrespectful or clearly indicates that she thinks she is better in all respects than the others.

But if the more talented player is disrespectful and displays a sense of entitlement that is creating a cancer on the team, the principle of "addition by subtraction" is usually the way to go.

I have coached ball for 40 years and I would much rather have a team with chemistry than have 1 prima donna. or 1 bad apple
