[quote=Anonymous]There seems to always be one on each team. I think there is a life lesson in dealing with difficult people in this for your daughter. As the previous PP mentioned, coach your daughter on language to use to alleviate the tension. Or - practice language with your daughter to discuss with coach. I would only get involved if the player uses racial slurs, somehow gets very personal in her toxicity, or gets physical. We are dealing with this on my son's team with one player - more about bragging and trash talking his teammates when they don't do everything perfect. My son and I talked at length about it and I actually showed old videos of John McEnroe's attitude (this kid isn't that bad) and then showed him how most people remember him not as an amazing tennis player but a tennis player with a bad attitude. I find examples like that seem to help, depending on age. [/quote]
