This Week's Question:
Your daughter is a relatively weak server and always gets subbed out when it is her turn to serve. She says she wishes she could get to serve in the volleyball matches. What do you say?
Response:
Team sports are a teaching opportunity for selflessness. It is about the team, not individuals. It is about contributing to the team effort, not personal glory or opportunity. It is the team that wins or loses, not any single player. As such, if my daughter wants to serve, she better practice on her own so that she can contribute and help her team win. Otherwise, she is not doing her job as a team member.
