Injured child cannot make important practices this weekend-most likely defining the A and B ODP teams for Friendship Cup. Does injured daughter have a chance to make A team? Regional Camp?

Some advice
1. Hopefully she can makes the practices, but not play. It is important to be there, watch the play intently, and hear the coaches instructions and guidance. One should be at all sessions.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
2. Accompany your daughter to speak with the coach about the injury so that the coach knows the exact status, (prior to practice). Make sure your daughter explains, you are there for support. Make sure the coach knows what the injury is, how long the doctor said it will need to heal, and the probable status for the Friendship Cup.
3. Do not keep her from attending any activity, she needs to be there. Dress appropriately for sitting on the bench or whatever the situation.
4. Coaches typically know about injuries, I assume this one will understand.
5. Hope she heals quickly and she does have many years ahead of her to play.
Good luck!Comment

Don't stress about it or put undue pressure on you daughter to get better fast. You have many years ahead. Be clear about the nature/severity if the injury. The coaches will not take an injured player to camp, no matter their ability. She must be totally healthy. If she misses this year it's no big deal. Disappointing, yes, but injuries happen and the first order of business is to get well again. That's my experience.Comment

Clarification, please
When you wrote "listen closely", what distance do you recommend? I'm thinking that 3 feet is close enough because we are German and that's the usual personal zone distance that Germans like to keep.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
However, the coach is Persian (I think) and they have a much different notion of "space". I don't want my child to get "too close" (by American standards) because it might by unseemly to some. But I don;t want 3 feet to be considered "aloofness" on the part of the coach.
What to do, what to do? Please advise!!Comment

This is a joke right??? If this is a serious question I suggest the reader consider the above to read listen carefully. Make sure you can hear everything that is said. If you are unable to demonstrate your comprehension through playing, you must show you are eager and working to understand.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Permit me to reply
I believe a key factor has been omitted, without which we cannot in good conscience attempt to assist you. Let me elucidate.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
You claim the coach is a descendent of the great Persians, such as ****** (defeated by Alexander, I might add). Persians are well known to enjoy the "Stinking Rose" (garlic, for those of you from the eastside or Vancouver) in their cooking. We do not know the coach's proclivity for this pungent root.
