[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coach was “hostile” to her? Like how? How was he hostile while he was ignoring her as you said? I think you have some Mom blinders on OP.   [/quote]

I don't think so - I have other kids, we are a very sporty family. I've seen lots of coaches, my kids have been benched for important games when the coach didn't think they could contribute - it happens. This is a JV softball team and the coach sort of acted like she didn't exist.

She talked to other kids who came into the dugout but completely ignored my daughter. A ball was hit into the parking lot and my daughter ran to get it. When she came back with it, the coach took the ball from her without even looking at her. You know when someone seems very tense around you but relaxed around other people? That was how it looked.

I’ll bet you are correct- it is probably her shyness/quietness. Unfortunately, it very often reads as either aloof or “I don’t want to be here”. Or even haughty/snobby “I’m too good for this”. It would explain the mild hostility from the coach. I have dealt with this my whole life (and have had to learn strategies to combat it) and one of my DS is the same.

Does she get along with her teammates or is she quiet with them as well?

She really needs to speak with coach and ask what she needs to work on to earn playing time. In person. Really the only solution. Coach needs to see that she wants to play, and may also realize after having a conversation with her that she is just shy.

Also helps to smile a lot (I hate to say this but it is true)

She really needs to muster [/quote]
