[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my DD also. We disengaged from sports as parents, but she stuck with it and absolutely loved it. She knew she wasn’t as good as other girls, but was well/liked anyway and made great friends.
The key was playing down a level. So Frosh/Soph team in 9th and 10th. JV in 11th where she may not get a ton of play action, but that’s ok. She has to change her mindset. [/quote]

Thank you. I appreciate the reply. Mine is young enough that down a level is instructional/rec. After reading your comment, my hope for her is that if this remains something that mostly brings her joy, she’ll hang on for long enough to get to HS and make any level of team. Or get to HS and be able to access a new sport that might be as compelling as this one.

It sounds like your DD’s gift is being positive, being a good teammate and friend, and finding joy in the sport itself rather than success. I hope my DD will one day see that she doesn’t have to have a talent to be special and worthy. [/quote]
