except AB didn't lose 4+ billion.....but that's neither here no thereThe silent issue in all of this is hoping the coach doesn't change his tune about your DD. There's a chance this coach may reward her for having a dad get involved, and there's another chance that he will alter his relationship with her knowing that her dad isn't above inserting himself into situations. I say all of this with "could be" and "maybe" involved, cause I don't know the coach, the team, or anything about anyone involved.
All I can tell you is, right or wrong, good and sometimes bad, my position and interactions with parents are sometimes altered when the parent inserts themselves into our pitching lesson somehow. Sometimes it's a positive thing, sometimes not. But the dichotomy changes. You might think that's wrong and I'm a jerk for saying it out loud but, I bet every private coach both hitting and pitching have different relationships with the parents who say NOTHING during lessons vs. the ones who interject things.
Maybe I'm way way off. Maybe you and the coach have been BFF's since 5th grade. I don't know. All I'm saying is, it's possible.
At the end of the day what's done is done. Even if you changed your mind about what you had done and realized it was a mistake, there's nothing you can do about it. Personally, I'm glad you have not changed your mind or your tune about it because there's very little worse than believing we let our kids down somehow. I believe in your heart you felt like you did the right thing and you might not hesitate to do it again. I do hope you pause and consider all the things other people have said before you do, just in case.
This kinda reminds me of the current Bud Light controversy. That VP really thought this was the right decision and believed in her heart this was the right path. 5 days of firestorm later and $4+BILLION in losses say another story from the public backlash. But, she's stayed firm that this was the right call for the company. Everyone has to decide for themselves if it's right or wrong.
