Just a few blurbs from our local sports scene:
*Grandpa gave his 10 year old grandson a list of the other 10-year olds in his league and asked him to rank them as good or bad players and is now bragging about how accurate his grandson is.
*Dad of a 13 year old has hired a personal trainer, strength coach and nutritionist to work with his daughter because he feels she should have made the 16U team this year and wants to make sure she makes it next year instead of staying with her own age group
*Dad of another 13-year old who barely got the last spot on her team is talking to everyone as if his daughter is a 1st liner and can't believe that the coaches want her to work on some specific skills before the regular season starts
*Parents from a 12 year old team are bragging about how they got most of the best girls and are going to win the state tournament - over 6 months from now.
*Parents gave false info to other parents to try and keep kids away from tryouts so that their child had a better shot at making the team.
*A program director pushed through a restrictive rule that has resulted in about 30 girls not being able to play for their first-choice club.
I swear I know way too many difficult child-adults that think they are easy child. At least our difficult children know they are difficult
