[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are they?

Those don’t sound particularly mean to me. Perhaps not overly constructively critical but feedback in sports on things to improve on is normal and may be what this girl hears from her own parents / coach.

Does the coach give constructive feedback? Can you daughter take feedback from others?

Who is she to criticize?   Your daughter doesn’t need to hear from her classmate who has her own weaknesses to work on telling her what to do.  Tell her “ take care of yourself. I don’t need or want your criticism.”    [/quote]

It is a sports team not a classmate. And on a team, if one player isn't playing their position or isn't putting in effort or isn't focused on what they are doing and is fooling around - it messes up the game for everyone. I don't know how old they are or how competitiive this team is but it is 100% normal for teammates to tell each other to get it together or to stop fooling around or to play their position or to do x. The kid who is fooling around and not putting in effort is funny when they are 4 but not 14. [/quote]
