Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 3845977, member: 10363"] A simple truth, it is the things you do when no one is looking that reveal your character, great story and what a reflection on the young lady and her family. I was an assistant traveling softball coach for several years at a high level of competition and our head coach had a standing rule that the entire team police our “dugout” area at the end of games, virtually no exceptions but obviously there were some for legitimate reasons. Punch line, he found out that our best pitcher had played him twice with BS to leave upon the end of the game and he cut her loose. I always admired him for that and conversely wondered what was so important to her about the 10 minutes it took to clean up and the 10 minutes to hear the coaches talk to the team after that. To her parents credit, they were the ones who inadvertently “spilled the beans” as both times had occurred when the girl had been driven by a friend, had no problem with the decision to let her go, and refused to let her finish the summer on another team.
