What do I mean? The real competition on a team is against the other players on the team, not against the other team. A player has to learn how to bury her competition for a position on her team. The player has to learn how to figure out what the coach wants, and how to exceed the coach's expectations.
You just hit head the nail on the head. DD has always been taught if you want playing time or position you have to earn/take it. Unfortunately sometimes with daddy ball the deck is not allways stacked fairly. I agree 99% of parents do look for the littlest bit of favortism on the part of coaches but those coaches are the minority.They are the ones that make it hard for the good coaches . Bottom line though is there would'nt be any rec ball nor TB without these dads and moms donating so much of their time and energy so DD can do something she truely loves.Allways remember to tell these coaches thankyou for all they do and ask if there is something you can do to help out.(fundraisers, uniforms, girls who need a ride to practice) They will let you know what is needed and appreciate it.
