I am a second year 14U travel coach that apparently needs help judging girls (and parents) commitment and character. In August I had an outstanding pitcher commit to the team and then renege after three weeks. her parents seemed nice and commited. A simple email three weeks later she was gone. Now, just last weekend, I had two girls tell me that they would be missing about half of the spring tournamnets due to their soccer tournaments. I was well aware that both girls played soccer and I had discussions with both girls and their parents at tryouts to ensure that they would put softball first in the spring. Both girls and parents understood and agreed. Now, In January, they are breaking their committment because their soccer team has decided to expand thier spring schedule.
I was basically lied to by the girls and their parents.
I obviously need some help in judging commitment and character.......any advice or pointers out there from other coaches would be greatly appreciated?
