SILVER ELITE
So my DD is on an NPL team that seems to lose every game by one goal with the occasional stinker mixed in. The team is in desperate need of a striker and a couple fast wingers (guessing most teams that aren't high NPL or ECNL are probably in need of the same). Other than that a solid team. My DD plays almost every minute of every game, so zero complaints on playing time.
We have some parents who really can't stand the losing. Personally, I'm fine with it as almost all the games are competitive, the girls are playing hard and they are close to breaking through into the win column (I'm an eternal optimist). Now if we were losing by 3+ goals a game consistently I would have a different opinion. My concern is some on the team bail if we don't start winning.
I'm curious what people would think on this board if this was their DD's situation? Are you chasing wins or are you chasing competition and getting better? What's the right mix?
