[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you trust the coach? Is this an adult who cares about the individual kids and not just their performance? If so, I would encourage your DD to talk to the coach. She can even do it alone. She can honestly tell the coach what happened, how it made her feel, and ask the coach's advice on what to do next. Your DD can tell the coach she is not sure she is comfortable with the coach talking to the other players about it. The coach may not be able to honor that, but if he or she is good at their job hopefully they can explain their position to your DD in a way she understands and agrees with.

Even as adults we sometimes need help with other people. I don't think "standing up for yourself" means pretending that you don't care when other people hurt you. I think it would be a good experience for your DD to reach out to the coach and deal with it that way. If the coach's response is terrible, that is an important lesson to. Sometimes the adults who are supposed to help you don't do it the right way. It would be great for your DD to be walked through this process with your support before she has to go it alone as an adult.[/quote]
