I'm sure many of you have had your daughters go through a High school tryout. I have a dilemma. My DD is an 8th grader trying out this year(there are several). My question is: she was told she was on the bubble. My take on that is that she is on the bubble of being cut. However, there is atleast 1 girl who has been told she is good as far as getting cut(whom I have coached in rec league) that honestly cannot hold a candle to my DD. She is a much better ballpayer and is definetly more athletic. My daughters game isnt perfect and I wont say that it is. I'm just trying to figure why a coach would tell her this? Is he wanting to see how much he can get out of her? Testing her mentally? Testing her will to succeed? I dont know. She has asked but his answers are vague, and just says simply you are on the bubble. The coach has made comments about my daughter to the rest of the girls trying out like"see how she throws! See how her mechanics are!!" Its like he compliments her in one breathe then crushes her the next. I know its not attitude, i have never known her to give anyone a bad attitude to except yours truly!!lol. Any advice??? I wouldnt even bring it up except for the girl that has apparently made the team, really, she isnt that good, at anything. Bad mechanics all around.
