[quote=Anonymous][quote]No what Im saying is the bench player hast to worker harder to make up for less talent. I think thats just common sense. Again too many want to give playing time as a participation trophy in a sense and not understand it must be earned. As for coaches being up front. I think the parent needs to be more honest with their child and themselves. More than not parents think their child is better than they are. Their view of where their child ranks on the team is usually a clouded ranking. This is true for the better players as well. If your a bench player I would recommend showing up early for practice be the first one there the last to leave.[/quote]

I think this is good advice.  My son started out as the worst player on our club's lowest team - he got accepted off the wait list, when someone else turned down a spot.  He has worked really, really hard and he is now one of the better players (according to the coach, not me) on our club's middle team, and plays for most of every game.  He probably won't ever make it to the highest team, and that's totally fine, but he has come a long way from where he started.  It wasn't due to natural athleticism, or inherent talent, but rather, hard work.[/quote]
