Parents and HS sports today are an awful combination. I played football back in the day and rarely saw a parent talking to a coach now they show up with lawn chairs to watch practices. IMO once a kid gets to HS they should be fending for themselves. Coaches are like bosses, some are great some suck, some are fair some suck, it’s part of the lesson.

Too many parents assume that, if their child can play at the high school level, he’s on track to go pro.

Then why e-mail her mother saying the daughter sucks? Coach has nieces e-mail, phone, text and sees her everyday. Why not just e-mail the mother and tell her to stay out of his coaching if there's a problem there? Why attack a starting player to her mother if you want the parent out of the situation?

My first impression was e-mail sent to the wrong parent (but no, it calls my sister by first name) as there are actually 3 players with nieces name, or my sister had made it up as a joke because I kind of laughed at first it seemed so bad. Both not true, sent from the school. And it was still not professional if sent to any other girl.
