[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.

That was a really good post.   My daughter just turned 11, is already small,  and wil be a late developer,  so I know she's in for a tough few years.   Right now she is that kid - loves watching games with us,  happy to put in extra technical work on her own,  etc.... - but your post has me thinking that I need to start finding ways to help her make those activities more social for her moving forward.   Thank you. [/quote]

You're welcome! I can't remember where I saw or heard this interview, but I remember Tobin Heath saying that during her formative years, she encountered a good number of players who were better than her. More talented, and had more aptitude. She went on to say that none of those people are playing any longer.

Her observation, along with some of the attrition that I see in my area (of good players who have burned out or quietly stepped away from the game) helped me form these ideas.
