I am at my wits end. We have soo much talent, but when you play in spurts, it doesn't win matches or games. One of my starters asked if she HAD to start....I said no and asked why she didn't want to start, expecting that she would say she was sick or something....her reponse was that her BF was in the stands and that made her nervous!!!! UGHHHHHHHH!

OMG!!!!! How old are these girls????? First, let me say, I am not a coach, but I did play sports in high school. I cannot believe that one of your players would disrepsect you in a sense to say, "SO?"! That is outrageous! We had some pretty strict coaches. Everything was, "yes ma'am, no ma'am", if ya slipped up, it sometimes constituted to running.
I also cannot believe a player would ask if she HAD to start! I know we were always fighting to be a starter to impress our b/f's in the stands, per se.
In any case, sounds like you definitely have your hands full. I cannot really give much advice, but I wish you the best of luck!!!
