Everybody Won't Play - And That is OKAY

Great advice!!  Sometimes you aren't playing simply because there is somebody better than you in front of you; and that is OKAY!!

The highest difference between club ball and school ball is

1 - You pay the club coach, you don't pay the school coach
2 - If you don't play on a club team, you can change teams/coaches.  You can't do so (as easily) with school ball.

So as former NBA champion Shane Battier once said, play so good that your coach CAN'T take you out of the game.  

It's not equal opportunity - its who is going to give us the best chance to win and we have to teach our kids how to be a part of team and that sometimes that means we are the best player and sometimes that means that our role is to cheer them on from the bench.  

We have to teach them to work hard in and out of practice to get better, and that while we might be working hard, there just might be somebody better - and that is OKAY!
