That's the whole point of leaving, to enjoy the ride. Nobody was enjoying the ride. I just want to be sure where we land, it'll be fun. She'll get to play and have a good time, that she'll like the girls and the coaches. I said earlier on, who knows what she'll be doing in a few years. She might not be playing at all, like you said. I'm not worried about all that. I'm worried about her having fun THIS season! I'm just nervous about the whole flip a coin option because of the coaching. Then again, we thought we were careful in the fall and look what happened. Maybe we should have flipped a coin then
We downplay the angst with her but obviously, everyone in the house knows there's an issue. I told her, we'll play with several teams over the next month, it's going to be awesome and fun, and when we check out a few we can decide which one we like best. She doesn't seem stressed about it at all now that we've left, so that's good. We're telling her and ourselves and the coaches we're playing with, right now we're not thinking about decisions, we're just going to play some ball and see what we like. But it's different here, because there are so many more experienced parents/coaches/players. Here I can get actual advice and maybe get some ideas of things I may not have thought of (there has been a lot of that here in this thread and in others, and I'm really grateful ). So the angst is definitely amped up on this thread, compared to real life, because I'm trying to see all the angles. If that makes sense.
