When I run into girls from other teams that I helped coach last year, they tell me how they can't wait to play for me, Sarah, Rob and Katie.

You do realize that this is all that matters. And the comments from these bantams makes it sound like David is not having a thoroughly good year. Guess it comes with the title of Coach, but know you're not alone. I remember the email I got this time of year in 2003, from the guy who took his daughter off the team with the words, "She's going to compete now in the UK, and sadly she'll have to rely on development from other years". The world is full of petty people with tons of anger. Sorry yours infringed on personal space and I hope you let them know going into your hotel room was (a) inappropriate and (b) not tolerable. I know how difficult that can be with a player right there wishing her parents would find another avenue to get at what they're REALLY angry at, which no doubt has nothing to do with ball. I know the feeling of crawling under a rock--it's normal, and it will pass. Good luck in qualifiers. For what it's worth you still have me as a fan.
