Hurt Feelings
So I got my feelings REALLY hurt today.
A little background…
We are planning our End-of-Season Party for soccer and it has been a little cumbersome trying to meet everyone’s needs. I was thrilled with all the suggestions but the requirements started to become pretty narrow. I prioritized the “requests” and came up with what I thought was the perfect meet-in-the-middle/let’s-move-forward/right-at-the-time solution (with all things considered). Two Mom’s didn’t agree and fact checked me coming to the wrong conclusion. I was shocked that they didn't believe me but glad they at least addressed their concerns with me. Still once I clarified the details, I did not have their support of my decision like I had expected. Words like 'disappointed' and feelings of being 'deceived' were expressed- no apologizes we made and I got the feeling like their acceptance of my explanation was barely accepted at all.
Anyway, I wanted to say enough- everyone had a chance to offer their input but now a decision needs to be made because the discussion has gone on long enough. Maybe I’m wrong? What role do you think a soccer coach has in these decisions?
I’m not aware that my parents read this blog but comment with care.
