Why not? What kind of evaluation was this? It was a great show of the ‘pros’ and their skills. I’m wondering if the evaluator even has a chance to see the level of my friends who CAN serve, dink, volley and return. Shame on you! What a waste of their time.

My point ultimately was how depressing and frustrating it was to NOT be able to show the evaluator what skills they could do WELL AT THEIR LEVEL. They felt humiliated, embarrassed as it was just a showcase for the other 2 ‘pros ‘.
All is ok...ratings came today. They’re what my friends asked for, but still.....
