[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like she's not cut out for soccer.  [/quote]

Op - it’s her main sport. She plays 10 months a year for a travel team.

Should she try and sauna? Just get in better shape and run outside in the heat? [/quote]

Is she out of shape? [/quote]

Op - she plays soccer 5-6 days a week. In the winters she does 2 days a week of soccer and 2 days a week of basketball. In the summer she swims all summer. So I don’t think she is out of shape. But probably could use help in her running conditioning. She has never went out and just run 5 miles or anything. [/quote]

You are going to make her hate this sport. Just stop. It's too hot for anyone to be outside and running around. Why do you think they have indoor recess when it's this hot?!

Op - [b]I asked her yesterday after the hot games and she said she still loves soccer.[/b] I want her to be able to continue to play the sport she loves. I just think she needs to put more time into conditioning in the heat.

I also wonder how hard we should be pushing our 9-10 year olds in the heat. Based on responses here it seems like she should be able to handle the heat if she wants to keep playing soccer. [/quote]

I am not saying if your DD does still love playing soccer right now or not. I do not know her and only she knows her own mind.
But of course she is going to say that she still loves soccer when you ask, OP. She loves her parent and wants to please you. Just keep that in mind.[/quote]
