Reply to "How to Let Coach Know You're Working On Your Own?"

Son had same issue at his high school.  Was new kid at school as a sophomore.  Did both the HS work and the travel work with teammate that was on travel team with him.  Both had very successful sophomore years making All-State.  Next year they got to drop the HS portion of his work at the start of the year but instead did "complementary" work that assisted his travel work as well has "teaching" some of this travel workout to the team.  This did not set well with some of the kids or their parents (as they thought that our boys were getting preferential treatment).  Coach said ok, "we'll just do the travel workouts at school", which are MUCH more strenuous and time consuming (before and after school), son and friend led them.........needless to say the kids that were whining about it wanted to go back to "regular" workouts.  Coach said "no", you got what you asked for and that all workouts are now mandatory.  Sometimes it is better to keep quiet, or you may get what you ask for.
