Comments (15)I copied this from the FAQ on the ITV player site. "I live outside the UK and cannot watch programmes, why? We do not hold international rights to all of our programming, so video content is supplied only to users with IP addresses in the UK. Some users in the UK may be affected by such geographic blocking if their internet service provider uses servers outside the UK."...See MoreAllow DD to quit soccer?
Comments (7)I think my original post may have been unclear judging from the last two responses. I typed it in a hurry. I'm not putting any pressure on DD at all. My rule is simply give everything you do your best effort. The soccer situation I don't think is attributable to her, not mostly anyway. Every coach isn't right for every child. Most of the teams I am looking at moving her to are much lower ranked teams where she will get more playing time and better coaching. Its not about being a star. I want her to be the best she can be. I will not spend tons of money for her to be a bench warmer or not improve. It just doesn't make any sense. I don't like it and its no fun for her. What I've seen is she just doesn't really connect with her current coach. In her other major sport, she would do anything her coach asks her to do, no matter how difficult it seems. In competitive athletics, that is important. With this coach, no such connection or desire to play well for him. Yet, she loves the sport. I mean, she gets upset when practice is canceled. So trust me when I say it is not about her hating the sport. With competitive athletics, playing with friends is not a good reason to stay with a team. Anyway, DD and I talked it over last night and she's back with the program. She's going to continue playing with her current team and we will check out other teams during the season to see if we find a better fit. She is worried about making friends on a new team. She makes friends easily, so it won't be a problem. She doesn't understand it, but by the end of the season, several players other players will find new teams for the same reasons. That's just how it goes. Her last team completely imploded because the parents got fed up with how the coach treated the girls....See MoreLast Night of the Proms
Comments (22)Below should be a site where you can watch and listen to the Last Night of the Proms. Click on to 'Royal Albert Hall'. Part II is where the fun pieces happen; so you can join in with Rule Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem Don't be put off by the bangs and whistles - all part of the 'Prom-ers' silliness. The footage is cut with scenes from several out-ot-town venues that hold 'Proms in the Park' . . . Manchester, Swansea, belfast and Glasgow. The second half lasts for about an hour and a half. This will only be available until Sat 16th Sept though. Take it away Minnie! Here is a link that might be useful: Last Night of the Proms...See MoreHow can things get any worse...I need your thoughts and prayers
Comments (19)First, Jewels,...yes, it could have been much worse...she might have had a head trauma or broken neck...there is always something to be thankful for. But as a grandmother of a die hard soccer granddaughter, I know how important the game is to them and yes, soccer is a very aggressive sport. I would at least discuss this with the coach or AD and see what might be happening between the girls...and if your dd is the only one who is getting excessive abuse from her teammate. If I remember correctly, your dd has a scholarship to play college soccer and I hope this does not ruin her chances for that. My grandson also had a good chance for playing college soccer as well, but due to knee accidents, he was not able to do so and it broke his heart. He is the college soccer team's manager, but that is not like the thrill of playing. Good luck to your dd!...See Morephoggie
