how can we expect you to hit live pitching?!!" This from the mouth of HS coach during a drill where groups of 3 had one girl self tossing a ball, hitting said ball with both hands on bat, and must be hit directly to the person fielding. DD was so frustrated and they called her out on it saying she was holding the line up. Needless to say, it set a precedent for the rest of practice, and she came home quite upset...more upset than I have ever seen her. The coaches seemed to have targeted her throughout the entire practice (of course through her eyes...I get that).
Anyway, I just told her to control what she can control, let what happened slide like water down her back...HS ball doesn't count in grand scheme of things, but to just do the best she can. Sigh.
It's just irritating because there is nothing she or I can do about it. Good thing is...after she got it all out, she was better.
