[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I mean to say that it's getting stressful enough that she is NOT enjoying vb as much.

Thank you for the replies. Yes, she made a big jump.  I think the goal next year will be to look for teams somewhere in the middle. I am just not sure what those are, as it seems like more teams that play open are all trying to play the same tournaments. Most seem to have 3 practices/week plus.  I think her concern is that she won't find the same skills at club level, and that might be true, but also a possible concession to finding some balance.

She's not honor list and we have to push her in school.  She has ADHD (inattentive type) and it's really hit hard this year. I think that is compounding the feeling of being pulled in different directions![/quote]

DD is in 10th grade and plays open level- add in personal trainer and PT to address different aches and pains... she's doing something  or multiple things every single day.  She also just doesn't love school so getting her to do homework was challenging.    However, she heard about a girl at her HS that had committed to D1 soccer but got dropped b/c she had bad grades and that helped to get her act together.  She gives herself about 30 minutes of down time after school and fits in hw/studying between appointments and/or practice.  She also only takes 1 AP and 1 honors instead of a full stack of APs.  This has helped a lot.  Decreasing the academic rigor while being able to focus on a sport she loves has given her the balance she needs.  I'm not saying there are some late nights or missed time with friends b/c there are but it's helped.  [/quote]
