Yesterday I got an email from the volleyball coach. Instead of trying to paraphrase it I just thought I'd copy it here:
Hi Jessica,
So... not the best of news.... but definitely not the worst! It almost sounds like one of those template emails administrators send out; they just personalize it by putting in a number code that codes for specific compliments. Much like report cards in high school. Either way, I'm way glad that I tried out. Never leave one opportunity untried right?
Hi Jessica,
First of all, thank you so much for coming out on Thursday night to participate in our open tryout. I was very impressed with the turnout, the level of talent, and the amount of passion for the sport of volleyball that everyone brought to the court. (You particularly!) I think everyone had a terrific time! I hope that was the case for you too. You particularly impressed me with your enthusiasm and strong knowledge of the game. It is obvious you have played at a high level. Unfortunately, we cannot offer you a position on our spring team at this time. I am glad however, that you went for it. I know you love the game. If I can ever do anything for you, just ask!
All my best,
Shay
I was actually going to say just the opposite: this sounds like she actually wrote something to you specifically.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I'm glad you shared this.
I am super duper proud of you Jess. You are inspiration at its finest.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it sounds canned--you DO love the game. Way to go, Jess!
