Priorities Revealed

A friend had an experience with their kid’s rep sport team that I have seen occur again and again.  The “second string” or backup players get very little playing time, even in when they are blowing out the other team.  This was on a weekend where the team had multiple games, some very competitive.

I find this revealing and a bit maddening.  Revealing in that the coach’s motivations and priorities are laid bare.  The top priority is revealed to be winning, and by as much as possible.
