[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think you need to stop focusing on the girl who made the team you think should not have.  You and daughter can’t control what coaches decide.  Had 4 kids go through many levels and never had one coach who I didn’t think to myself could have picked different players, allocated playing time differently, or run other plays. They are the coach, it’s their job and their decision.  Same thing once out of school and working, boss is going to do things not everyone agrees with for reasons unknown.  Winter and spring sports just around the corner, plenty more opportunities to play sports.[/quote]
DP who disagrees with this idea. When we play in tournaments, we often watch teams that my DD tried out for and didn't make. We are specifically looking who is playing the same position as my DD (not that it matters much, but in our case it's setter) to see what they are doing better. That's how we learn what my DD needs to work on to become more competitive during the next tryouts. Ignoring who got your spot is a recipe for remaining non-competitive. In this situation, to even reach the level of the other girl, the OP's DD needs to figure out how to gracefully shank 90% of the balls and get cut earlier. I would also be furious if that happened to my DD. And if you are honest with yourself, you would also be furious and you would stop claiming that coaches always know best. [/quote]
