Players better learn to bring the "A" game as we know coaches will find better players and its to late at that point. They'll get better players via transfers, and recruiting classes. Make yourself so good the coach has no choice but to play you. Don't leave it to him or her to decide your future. I know that the talk in this post is cheap but doesn't make it less true.
I remember when my DD sat for the first time in 430 games. Her role was to be the best teammate no matter the role. She nailed it. It was a mental test from the coaching staff to weed out the parents and kids that can't handle that adversity or at least at point in time. Softball is adversity. They also moved them to spots that weren't their primary spots that the players were usually playing.
It worked as two families quit that week.
