[quote=Anonymous]I was the kid who never tried it because I was afraid of being embarrassed. I think my parents tried to shield me like you want to do "those other girls have been playing a long time, I dont want you to be disappointed if you don't make it". They were just trying to prepare me, but i took it as "you don't know how to play - don't bother trying out." So I never played sports. I always say in the sideline. I always felt left out. I'm still afraid to do something if there's a chance I might fail. Let her get used to failing. Let her get used to trying. Her whole life there will be jobs, dates, opportunities ...and if she's afraid to try she'll never succeed. Be proud of her confidence and drive! [/quote]
