If your daughter plays on a high school team where there is a ton of talent (your daughter is included in that talent) and quite a few of the girls have taken lessons from the HS coach at some point, do you think that will effect (or is it affect?) his decision on who plays on Varsity?
If your daughter is frustrated and doesn't think she'll even make Varsity as a Junior and when she does get on Varsity she'll probably sit the bench, would you allow her to change schools? (Yes, we could change schools and she would be allowed to play next year) Her frustrations comes from not being able to play competitively. I'm sure some of you will think that we think she's a better player than she is, but we aren't those type of parents...I'm sure you're thinking..Sure you're not. Her stats speak for themselves and she has a couple D1 colleges looking at her. How much do relationships with the coach, play a part in his selection?
Part of me thinks, it's just high school ball and to let it go, but another part of me is also frustrated. Maybe this will teach my daughter to work harder, but what if she works her tail off and it doesn't make a difference. Maybe my daughter doesn't work hard at practice..Of course, she says she does, but who knows. Will college coaches care that she played JV for three years?
Let me know if I'm thinking about this all wrong? is this a good experience for our daughter and she'll learn some great life lesson? Has anyone experienced something like this?
