[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a parent with one superstar athlete and one below average athlete,  your bench warmer needs even more of your support.

And also take her to a team where she can contribute and feel needed.  [/quote]

Agree.  This.
And while I get other people pointing out that she needs to be on a team where she develops her skills, I don’t think that’s the most important thing.  I hate to break it to everyone but chances are your kids aren’t going to be professional athletes.  They might not even be college athletes-gasp!  You will have wasted a ton of time worrying about ball skills instead of thinking about what else kids get from sports.  The opportunity to contribute and feel needed, as this pp mentioned, is huge.  And you can get that from a rec team.  When my kids have a single game where they feel like they’ve been played less, they feel slighted.  I can’t imagine it feels great to be on the bench game after game.  And to go back to the original question—it would probably feel worse if your mom didn’t show up.[/quote]
