I realize this is very exciting time for parents and these young girls at Verity. They have alot to be proud of. But also realize the "stars" of the current team may have peaked, will lose interest or stop playing because of all the pressure parents put on them. Let these girls enjoy this time, realize that there are other girls on the bench who may have potential (Connor for the Kittens spent most of her 7th grade season on the bench and she is now the only D-1 prospect for the Kittens). So my advice to you is to relax and enjoy this time, because believe me it goes by very quickly.

I have one who spends her share of time on the bench, but she is a team player. She is not close to peaking. Hopefully she will mature into a starter next year. In the meantime, lets support our starters by encouraging them. I hope they "peak" in the tournament.
