[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I can't help but root against the first team.   [/quote]

Mine was on the "B" team. Did not make her high school team. Other coaches from other high schools recruited her she didn't want to change schools. Fine by us. Stayed on her travel team. Walk on Divison 1 college. LOL

Since she did not make her HS team she decided to run Cross Country in HS went to States as a 9th grader, then every year after that. Placed every year. Loved running, still does to this day. Done with Grad school now. The best thing ever happened to her not making her HS team. LOL.[/quote]

Great story!  Soccer players make great runners

But how did she not make her high school team but walked on to D1?  That doesn't say much for her high school's soccer coach or was it a powerhouse?[/quote]
We had a very similar story with our DD. She didn’t fit the cute, bubbly mold that the HS coach preferred (many of the cute, bubbly players were excellent, but many were not very talented at all). It was a bit maddening, but cross country turned out to be a great fit in HS. Our DD ended up at a D1 with an outstanding women’s team above her level. She loves club soccer. [/quote]
