this is my first year actually coaching a travel team and i have to say that some of these parents are driving me insane. the day of our state tournament,which is today, i had an imature parent pull her two daughters off the team leaving me with 8 girls. one of her daughters is not very good, but the other is an all star. it was one of those deals that if you want one you have to take both so the other coach and myself decide to pick them both up. anyway she decided that the week of the state tournament, being this week, that the girls didn't need to practice i guess. she missed three practices and left early on the other two. so with us only having nine players due to one girl being out of town, we had to pick up another player. the player we picked up is very good. we told the imature parent that we was going to start both girls, but one would be a flex player. in other words she wouldn't bat. she hasn't hit the ball all year. the plaeyer we picked up is a very good hitter. well she said that was fine. come to find out today she pulled the girls and wasn't even going to call us and let us know. we start the tournament tonight and we had to shuffle to find another player. the bad part is the divorced father is a very good friend of mine and the mothers actions have pretty much made me decide not to ever pick these girls up again. she is a very hateful person who loves to stir up trouble.
is this typicall of parents? i swear this is worse than running my company i think.
sorry for the rant....
