not to hijack thread, but since we're ragging on HS coaches, in different sport, DD2, a frosh, tweaked her back a little obver a week ago (landed ackwardly after jumpping in air), causing her to basically miss 8 softball games this weekend with her travel team (first real games with this team, she is new to team, but is same org as last season, knows the HC, and a lot of girls, there were many joint practices, she played a couple of innings in OF and bunted every at bat Sat). we told her she was shutdown for the entire week for her fall HS sport. was told that tuesday this week, HC for this fall HS sport questioned whether she really needed to sit entire week. this is after HS trainer last friday cleared her to play in freshman team game (she plays JV and freshman, named captain of freshmen team, which actually includes some sophs, as they do not have enough frosh), and tweaked it again.
blood nearly boiled. she is still going to practices and games, one of the loudest on sidelines. is it ever appropriate for a HC to question a 14 year old (who is extremely tough, played at nationals day after dislocating shoulder while body surfing) for resting an injury?
