Reply to "HS coach won't play son"

Nick's mom, I mean this with the best of intentions, but you aren't going to get a lot of sympathy here. There is nothing you can accomplish by talking to the coach yourself. Your son has already done that, which is the correct move. He didn't like what he heard, so now he has to prove the coach wrong whenever given the opportunity. Being angry, upset and frustrated will only make things worse. Even under the best of circumstances, we are biased toward our kids and their abilities. Most parents on here have heard multiple great things about their kids playing ability over the years, but there are only so many starting spots on a team. The competition in high school is tougher, so your son needs to step up and become the player that can't be missed.

Good luck and I hope you stick around even if you feel like your getting a lot of push back on here. We need more moms
