If the passion isn't there it's just too hard. You can't MAKE the girls stay.<br /><br />I loved the time my daughter was there and wished she had stayed. I have nothing but praise for the program, unfortunately most of the kids who are left in that group are not necessarily the ones with the most talent... THEY ARE HOWEVER, THE ONES WHO LOVE IT THE MOST - so I have no doubts they will get there in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-84081897950445676252012-11-01T22:28:18.969+11:002012-11-01T22:28:18.969+11:00Yes, Waverley are really delivering the kids at th...Yes, Waverley are really delivering the kids at the moment.

There is no a culture of wanting to compete. <br /><br />Honestly they really should only allow girls who attend national clubs to attend the IDP clinics. That would encourage greater commitment. There are two major events for IDP athletes in a year, attending them if healthy and able is not too much to ask. <br /><br />I would have thought this would have been a good meet for AYOF contenders to asses their progress before trials for that as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-31750132165427923192012-10-31T12:10:07.273+11:002012-10-31T12:10:07.273+11:00In previous years there has been no published list...In previous years there has been no published list until the first lot of results.

They have 5 juniors, Eade, Leydin, Warnock, Flood and Munteanu. Only Munteanu, Leydin and Flood are becoming seniors, seems like a poor excuse. <br /><br />They seem to have been struggling this year , they don't have many girls coming through in IDP and those that are are right at the bottom of the pack.
