Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4728204, member: 1646"] My daughter's high school soccer coach is a piece of garbage (trying not to trigger the Boneyard filter). There are a lot of examples, but here's the latest that has me ready to lose it. They started preseason soccer (even though they've been practicing 3 days per week with the coach all of August plus captains' practices in July). He tells the girls that if they miss any practice they won't play. He only enforces that against his non-star players. My daughter has had something going on medically and a doctor we saw Friday said we should have a procedure done. We could do it today because of a cancellation or wait a month +. We chose to do it today. She emailed the coach about the issue on Friday and got no response. Yesterday she asked if he got the email. He said he did and walked away. She wanted to explain that she was still going to come to practice, but wouldn't be able to participate because she will have been under anesthesia. He says, "you couldn't have this done sooner?" She explained that she couldn't and he responded, "well, there seem to be a bunch of you with convenient excuses. Maybe you should have a private practice on Saturday." Didn't wish her luck or offer any support. I wanted to reach out to him and explain how he could have better handled the situation, but my daughter insists that I not communicate with him. She's probably right. I know I'd start off nice, but I know it would go south. She's considered quitting, but she still likes the game and only has 3 more months. Maybe she should quit at this point though. [/QUOTE]
