Son why do you think you can not be honest with me? What is more important to you , going to a concert with your girlfriend or playing baseball? If a college coach asks me about you do you want him to know that you chose a concert over playing? How do you think your teamates feel about this? What if you came to play a game and there wasn't enough guys to play because they all decided to go somewhere with their girlfriends? Do you understand that when you make a commitment to something that you should honor that commitment? Now when you have a legitimate reason to miss how am I going to be able to trust that you are telling me the truth? If you were the coach how would you feel? If one of your teamates did this how would you feel about them? If you were me what would you do about this? Think about it and then come back to me with your answers.
