I Need a Varsity Coach's Opinion

by Deb

Apr 22, 2009

My daughter is a very good athlete. She is in 10th grade and it's her second year on the varsity lacrosse team. Last year she split the position with one of the older girls. This year she is playing the full game and the other girl was switched to defense. The other girl isn't very good. She has been very nasty to my daughter, blaming her for everything. She blames my daughter for not getting back on defense quickly enough, even though it's obvious my daughter is running full speed, and when she misses simple passes from my daughter the blame game continues.

He is more concerned with being liked by everyone. He is aware of what is going on but I'm sure he does...See More

Erin Your daughter definitely needs to make the coach aware of the situation. The coach is then aware of this behavior and can identify it when it happens. The coach can also ask your daughter's teammates about the incidents. This girl does not have to "like" your daughter, but should still respect her as a teammate. As a varsity coach for 10 years, I w...See More
