a fundamental element of being on a team is to assist in the development of team mates. this is clearly lost on the author of that email.

We got a new girl this year who is very strong, but was pretty sketchy, to the point where girls from other teams (politely) mentioned it to us. We've been working with her on our team rides, have encouraged her to attend skills sessions (which she did--I went to one with her), and have discussed it with our team coach so that he can provide some extra attention. She's riding a whole lot better now. Win win.
