My daughter as a few know on here plays multiple sports. She started with rec and moved her way into making school teams, playing AAU, on a national travel team for volleyball and just made the varsity softball team. I’m sure like a few on here their kids first love is and was basketball. My daughter loves it. It was her first love. She fell hard and fast. When it came to other sports no matter if she started or played the entire game for another sport, she always came back to the hardwood. Like most hoopers she would bounce the ball around the house all day shooting against the wall or the hoop on her bedroom door. That stopped this year. To say I was devastated is an understatement. I was crushed. I was furious. I have been angry before but this was rage for me. Here is why….her coach.
Her coach is one of these coaches that punishes girls for losing. Locking locker rooms so the girls can’t get their book-bags. He punishes them for correcting him over small things like…the name he calls them. If their name is Allie and he calls them Ellie. He will bench them for entire games just because. The best one is telling girls that if they don’t pay for his private trainer he employees with his side AAU team or they don’t join his AAU team they won’t make the team next year. What have sports turned into??? Schools are more worried about that W than anything else and it’s disgusting.
