My 16u team has desolved due to 2/3 of my players getting jobs, boyfriends, or whatever...
So, I talked to my DD about several offers to play with other programs. She decided on the closest and smallest program because "I don't want my whole like to be all about softball" she said.
Truth is, IMO she has gotten lazy. So much so that she's quit pitching all together because "it's too time consuming". So last night as I'm instructing her that her new teams practice starts in 45 min, and to get changed. She replied that she didn't want to play for them or anybody. She quits. This is after I've paid dues and bought uniforms of course. I proceeded to throw a complete tantrum. I was soooo pissed!
I'm in a bind now, because the father in me says to make her see her commitment through... but I also realize that this is just a game and is supposed to be fun for her.
Anyone got any advise?
