Its always great to hear from you ...Thanks, Joanne! Its always great to hear from you and see you too! You are right, many factors to consider. How many boys didn't make it? I happen to know, 12. In this case, it wouldn't have killed the coaches to take a few extra minutes to say the words, sorry, you didn't make it. They didn't have to give a 15 minute critique. After 7 days of hard work, I think the boys deserved a personal response.Just my opinion. Not worth much! ha!Stacey Wilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670640916174485011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207242663492555873.post-61745941370069717562013-03-17T08:45:20.241-04:002013-03-17T08:45:20.241-04:00Interesting situation, Stacey. Not sure how many b...Interesting situation, Stacey. Not sure how many boys tried out for the team--a school team, I gather, as opposed to a merchant-sponsored little league team? All the kids make it to those, right? I don't remember any more. :(<br /><br />At the risk of playing a devil's advocate, I'm wondering what the time constraints are of the coach(es) involved. I suppose he/they could have gotten the group of boys not chosen and give them a supportive talk. And since they tried out for seven days, I'm thinking the coaches took their time looking at the individual skills and could have commented on strengths/weaknesses, especially if the group of hopefuls wasn't terribly big. <br /><br />IDK, many factors to consider I guess. (Maybe that's why I never get anything done, lol.)<br /><br />Always a pleasure seeing you! Happy writing and ttys!
