Then she started complaining about yesterday's "17" drill - where the players sprint 17x back and forth side line to side line. After they were done... Coach Mike said a lot of players didn't do it right... and had them do it again.
NN said that's not fair. She already gave 100% on the first "17." And she can't give 200% cuz the other teammates are lazy.
TEACHING MOMENT: You live as a team, you die as a team. #BOOM
And that opened the door for so many other lessons. Leadership... carrying the team... encouraging others... The exact reason why I so longed her to join organized team sport... ohhhhh.... Yes, this demotion sucks.
How I long for the day when she can proclaim, "When I thought I was spent... my team needed me... and I found the inner strength and was able to give 200%!!!"
