[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a competitive tennis player who has played many sports growing up, but has finally decided to focus on tennis. She loves to get on court and play and I've never had to push her to play. I am aware of the overuse injuries that can happen when one plays a sport intensely year round. The problem is that she always tries to get out of her fitness and strength training sessions at the club, and getting her to do the injury prevention exercises at home that the physical therapist prescribed is like pulling teeth. She'll never do them on her own and it's a draining for me to keep reminding her to do them. Has anyone else gone through this where their child loves their sport but doesn't want to do the "sports adjacent" stuff? Do you give a child an ultimatum in that case? It's only a matter of time until she gets an injury otherwise.[/quote] Obviously, she doesn't have what it takes. Let it go. [/quote]
