Not sure where to drop this but there's so much truth. As fans we can get caught up in stars and pure ability, but fit and attitude is huge.
I coached traveling baseball and softball for many years; my last year I co-coached an 18U softball team and we needed another catcher.
One of the players who had just made the team talked about a girl she had played with who was looking. She made a comment about how this girl had a bad experience with coaches the previous year.
We evaluated two catchers, one who was a no brainer but who was evaluating options and then this girl. My co-coach convinced me to offer both; we needed another player too.
We got both of them but the one who had a bad experience with coaches before was a problem again (it apparently wasn't the coaches' fault).
