[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get her a few private sessions with a coach ahead of tryouts. Have her practice to get a feel for whether she wants to do it. Be proud you raised someone that doesn’t give up before they even try. Let her do her best and see what happens. If she doesn’t make it, figure out what she found attractive about the sport and see if there are other ways to fill the same desire. [/quote] OP, my kid was not coordinated when he was younger. He tried a couple of sports and didn’t do well. He decided he wanted to try out for travel basketball, and we got him with a trainer. Literally after the first session he looked 100% more like a basketball player. He kept at it for a year and made a travel team, and he kept improving. He ended up being a standout high school player. A trainer who works with kids and knows how to teach can really do wonders. [/quote]
