Sometimes there comes a time where a kid may have had enough of all the garbage that goes with playing. It's just not fun anymore.
I'm not saying Trojanskipper is this way at all. However, last night I was explaining to a local scout/friend what was going on at my sons school, already. Tryouts haven't even started. His exact words to me were they will either hurt him or break him. He's a pretty tough kid with a great attitude but when a so called coach says " you are a fierce competitor,work harder than anyone and have the best torque he's seen. Then turns around and says you have a big ego, are narrow minded and says you have your dad's personality(he doesn't even know me). Last year it was you need more confidence. What does a 16yr old kid say. I'm afraid he will say I quit! We filled out the transfer paperwork last night but his mother in tears stopped it at least for now.
