"One of the hardest times for me involved cutting a student in my class from the basketball team. They were truly one of the last remaining, but I thought another player would fit the team best. I had to tell the player that I cut him. I shared with him what he could improve on for next time. Later on, I had to share with the parents why I had cut their son. Luckily, the administration had my back. But, I learned that times like this are a part of life. I had to make a decision that was best for the team."
