Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

I'd hate to think how I would react under the pressure of being on live national television. I cringe every time I see a local news reporter/anchor begin to "lose it"....and these folks are professionals.

Caitlin scored big on her second chance!!!

Agree that the Today Show was a great comeback. While the original answer was a jaw-dropper, I'd probably do worse live on national tv. If I'm the Google Maps or MapQuest guy, I've got my best people working on a big contract for her to become a spokesperson. She's shown she's human, courageous, honest, and has a sense of humor. Good luck and best wishes to her.

I concur. She's got a bright future ahead of her and has definitely turned a difficult situation into a "plus" for her career. Good luck to Caitlin!

I read the paper today and they made light of the situation in her favor. I hope she can laugh at herself, because that pressure and end result can be difficult to handle. Great job on the Today Show Caitlin!
