Team Thanksgiving 2024 was a huge success! We enjoyed some team bonding while eating a delicious Thanksgiving spread! The girls shared what they were most thankful for and Madison won the door prize for being the closest to guessing the number of Reese’s Buttercups in the pumpkin jar! We missed those who could not be here! I am thankful for this team and look forward to a great season!

Your kid being on the bench does not
mean the coach doesn’t believe in them.

Take a minute to re-read that.
Because this is a big one.

And for some reason, we automatically
assume that if the coach isn’t playing
them, they don’t believe in them.

& that’s just simply not the case in all
circumstances. Maybe some. Not all.

What it can mean is that -

The coach believes they can do it, but
they also know another player can too.
& that other player is either:

•more consistent
•listens better in practice
•understands situations
•is more athletic
•is mentally tougher
•is more dependable

That doesn’t mean your kid isn’t consistent,
doesn’t listen, doesn’t understand situations,
isn’t athletic, isn’t mentally tough and isn’t
dependable. Or whatever else you want to add.

It simply means another player is MORE so.

That’s it.

The job of a coach is to give everyone the
opportunity in practice and to put the best
9 on the field for the game.

At the youth level you can tinker with this
some. But as they get older, the talent and
the development starts to even out. So there
will always be bench players. And there will
always be somebody better. Which means
there will always be disgruntled parents.

& it is absolutely possible for a coach to have
9 players in the field that he believes in and
30 on the bench that he believes in as well.

It’s a tough pill to swallow.

But it’s necessary if you want your player to
find success in the long term of this game.
