Coach's Kid

Well this turned out to be a little surprise. Win or Lose's opening episode was definitely a great one. Laurie is a young girl who isn't the best softball player and she feels that she's only on the team because she's the coach's daughter. She feels ignored and overshadowed by everyone and everything. I especially loved this episode because I related so much with Laurie. The feeling of not being good enough or not living up to your parents expectations is scary and the show perfectly shows this with Laurie's inner feelings and stress growing until she becomes overwhelmed by it and it consumes her. The quote at the end of the episode from Laurie's father is especially beautiful "It's never been about being the best, it's about trying your best" That's why I picked it as the title for my review.
