[quote=Anonymous]Taking a broader perspective, what lessons are you hoping your daughter takes from the experience, as I assume that she is not going to be a professional in this sport. Our son, now college, was absolutely terrible at team sports. To the extent that I still remain grateful to his soccer coaches were there kind treatment of him and I’m so glad he had teammates who were supportive.  He has always excelled in academics, in areas that require emotional to intelligence, and pretty much in every area other than team contact sports. I am so glad that we continued to support his efforts through middle school to try as hard as he could, with whatever support available, to excel in this area. Everything else has come pretty easily to him, so this was the area that gave him the opportunity to learn what it is like to work hard, and still not quite measure up, and work harder, and still not quite measure up,  And to know how it feels to be that part of a team. To me, that’s a huge and valuable lesson and it has stuck with him.

All to say that, when it comes to these types of activities, don’t lose track of the ultimate goal. What do you want your child to take away from this that will apply to her future? Act accordingly.[/quote]
