[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry for what you've been through and I wish your DD a quick recovery. On top of that, you have to listen to abuse online, because what you experienced in person was not enough. Some people here are just robots reciting the same "coach is right" poem. I feel like a few don't even understand the story and just join in because they recognize the chorus: "life is unfair." I want to see how many of them would be fine if that happened to their kid (and not just in theory). Player gets cut from the tryouts, while your own kid keeps going. If regular logic still 
stands, your kid is better than the kid that got cut. Your kid gets cut, then the player who had been cut earlier turns out on the team. Just how the unfair life intended.

This is THE opportunity to play the sport you love on the HS team. You have daily practice with the other top players who go to school. They've probably been in your social circles through clubs, tournaments, clinics, leagues. Of course you care who got a spot playing your position. You may be ok to see another player with similar skill level on the team. But then you look at the roster and see on your position that player who got cut before you. It doesn't matter whether we are talking about starters or bench players. Nice story to tell your child: get ready because life is going to hit you even harder. [/quote]

BS do not vilify anyone who posts that OP is a terrible parent.

OP came  to social media to diss on another persons child. She made her child obsess with being inferior to another kid who does this???

Life is unfair that is a life skill first which OP as a parent failed to teach her child.

And the whole blame the other kid garbage trashing the other kids skills what is OP a ten year old girl? OP is not a  volleyball coach either she has no idea what that coach was looking for. And yes sports are unfair that’s the natures of sports again OP making volleyball her daughters whole identity again bad parenting. As a mother of multiple division one athletes I understand parents like OP very well. All of my children knew sports were to enjoy not your identity. [/quote]

You must be a great life coach. Too bad they didn't have your kind a few hundred years ago to tell the slaves how unfair the life can be. I bet slaves were also failed parents because they didn't teach their kids that life is unfair. They would have been better off just focusing their energy on working the fields instead of complaining about injustice.

Before you point out the obvious (volleyball is not slavery), let me say that I know. But this relentless and vicious attack at the OP's parenting is very dubious. Can you - at least - acknowledge that you noticed the paragraph where the OP described dealing with rejection during tryouts? Maybe it was not very successful, but the effort was there.

Can we hear some common sense expressed as "kids who get cut should not show up on the team roster?" What's wrong with that? Missed opportunities to demonstrate that life is unfair? [/quote]
