I am truly amazed at the amount of whining that some people feel the need to post. I mean really. Have some self respect. If you are not able to navigate the girls lacrosse landscape successfully for your daughter then you need to look at your efforts and/or strategy. Being a spectator and not putting in the time and effort will most likely yeild bad results. That's how life works. Coming here to cry and complain and most likely do the same around your daughter teaches her nothing except what not to do. You can all say what you want about politics and money and how both influence ones level of success and my response is WELCOME TO REALITY. Maybe those of you on the wrong end of your programs politics should figure out a way to get on the right end of it. Maybe get involved more. Worst that can happen is you get to share some good experiences with your daughter. Either way it's better than the pity party your trying to drag us all to.
