[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at that level they want players that are tough mentally and physically.  the coach is testing her, how does she react under pressure, how does she handle criticism?

The same thing happens in all sports at that level and age, it is time to be a soccer player, not just be on a soccer team.  [/quote]

No. That is a load of BS. The job of the coach is to put the payer in a position to play to the players potential. Tearing a player down and destroying confidence is the opposite of this. Sports is about confidence in yourself, your team and your coach. The coach need to be a chameleon changing with every player and every team. Some players need someone to yell, others need an arm around them. I have seen a coach demote a player who was the best player on her team because she wanted more for the player. It destroyed the kid. The girl stop playing soccer.

OP get your daughter out of there. It will destroy her confidence and she will be done. Has she started questioning herself? The next thing she will stop being creative and taking chances. After that they will cut her. [/quote]

Yep she will not be playing in a year. I bet she already does not want to go to practice. Why would she. [/quote]
