[quote=Anonymous]This weekend’s tournament is really wearing on DD. She saw her weakness and conceded that even with the weekly practice, she remains the worst on her team. This is a sport she loves and wanted to pursue.

She started this sport later than all of her teammates. We go to every training opportunity the club offers but still, I don’t think it’ll allow her to be good enough to be on par with the rest of the team.

I caught her crying in the hotel room last night. She asked if we would consider letting her quit. Not this weekend but soon.

I have no complaints about her coaches - I think they’re great coaches and fair. I don’t know how much of a bind I’ll be putting them in if a player (even the worst) quit in the beginning of the season. Will they have a list of backup players to call?

We had zero experience with youth sports and just wanted to give her opportunities for something she wanted to pursue. Yes, we knew it’d be competitive going in but at this point we just don’t want her to sink anymore mentally.

Comments would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]
