For whatever reason my DD seems to be singled out as a punching bag for the HS coaches. She is a Jr and in all reality a leader on the team, but the coaches give her a hard time no matter what she does. They tell her to dial it back and when she does, they tell her she needs to be more intense. They snap at her for cheering too loudly! Really? Last night, she is playing SS (normally C) and there was an in between Pop fly in short LF. If she makes the play, it would have a been spectacular, but it dropped in for a single and of course the runner is a burner and gets to 2nd base. The LF lolly gags the throw. She comes into the dugout and is told that she is benched! Meanwhile 3 girls made multiple routine errors and they are left in. The team they are playing made it to the 4th round of the state playoffs last year and is pre seasoned ranked #6 in the area. And we suck. We lose 16-1 in 3 innings. Not a surprise.
My DD is the only committed player on the team at this point. I have a conspiracy theory. Future college coach asked for HS coach contact information a few weeks ago. I wonder if the coach asked HS coach to bench her to see how she reacts. This sounds crazy, but it's the only thing that actually makes sense. What do y'all think???
DD needs to learn how to handle adversity. If the conversation comes up with the HS coach, I told her to say I'll try harder next time. Hey Coach, what can I do to help the team get better? Hey Coach, how can I make your job easier? Be a servant leader! Life skills.
