[quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful to know what age were talking about and what mean things this kid does to her teammates. I have the perspective of a now college girl swimmer and I was a rep for years. I now appreciate that the girl at 8 who was miserable to be around lashing out when she swam poorly is almost certainly on the autism spectrum. My own DD who was slow but got a bit big for her britches in late MS has grown into a great leader and teammate by HS and college. But man. . . There were many feuds with club teammates and summer teammates along the way. Kids are learning to manage their emotions and competition appropriately. Some will struggle. Teammates can set boundaries “that’s not nice” and walk away. It’s a good skill to have.[/quote]
