DD just got her driver's license. Today's HS SB "Captains Practice" (upper Midwest so still indoors) will be the first time I or mom haven't driven her or supervised her driving to practice, games, etc. I coached her in Rec and TB before "retiring" so we've spent a lot of time together in and out of the car related to SB. I admit having some mixed feelings about the inevitable passage of time.
On to the teachable moment...She is a notoriously last-minute out-the-door kid. I have always had to manage our time getting to activities. She has slowly come to understand why you have to wake up at 6:00 AM for a 9:00 game that's 1 hour away and it takes you 1 hour to get out the door, but she hates everything about being told when to get up, when we have to be out of the house, etc., but then loves it when we get on the field. I probably pushed too hard a few times, but because I was often coaching, I had a reason to "be early". Compounding the HS SB situation, the HS coach is a Vince Lombardi type when it comes to being on time...On time is being there 15 minutes early...So, do we usher her out door with plenty of time to spare like usual or let her figure it out by herself. BTW, Its only about a 10 minute drive to school, but late is late. Wondering how others worked through the new driver situation related to SB?
