[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does it matter? She's getting exercise, enjoying the outdoors, learning the values of being a team player and good sportsmanship. Leave her alone and let her enjoy herself and get these benefits.

Why parents have to act like every kid is going to be some sports star is beyond me. There are so many benefits here. Don't spoil it for her.[/quote]

OP here. I don't expect my daughter to be a soccer star. As I wrote, my praise outweighs my criticism by a ratio of 20 to 1. I'm not one of those crazed lunatic parents screaming angrily at my child from the sidelines.

But I do want to help her experience some larger success on the soccer field, in proportion to the skills that she has worked hard to develop. I think that it would be healthy and beneficial for her to see the fruits of her hard work realized in the form of making a large contribution to her team. I see nothing wrong with gently helping her to improve her performance in games. Would it be better if I were indifferent? I think that would be as bad as being too hard on her.

Why not let the coach focus on this? What's the coach for?![/quote]
