As all high school coaches know, seniors will be seniors. Also, any team will have your kids who feel they are entitled. I currently have 2 girls who were on varsity since 9th grade who seem to not want to work. It seems that one especially has not improved and does not take corrections, and doesn't want to. The other seems to shut down as soon as we talk about competing smaller and making decisions. At the end of the day they are holding the team back. Also, we have quite the "parents" in our area, very entitled kids. It's unfortunately not that easy to just say you are not competing. I do get backed by school, but for 2 talented athletes, it will be tough to get a backing if I say they are lazy and have attitudes. I just wish they could see the big picture.
How do you deal with kids like this? Just curious.. We have been ignoring, but as the competition skills progress, the one who has not improved isn't moving forward and it seems to be purposely. The other just keeps saying this is getting stressful and I told her to re-evaluate if she wants to cheer.
