Hmmmm.... I think maybe that I've become so bothered by this that I probably nag constantly. She's not horrible all around I know this but I admit that it's becoming all I see... that's awful on my part. Thanks for the reality check!

What does the other parent have to say about all of this?
Give them any money back that they have paid and send her down the road.
She's invited with other girls, and I have parents tell me She's great. She does great in school- she's kind of a book worm. She isn't disrespectful to adults- maybe an occasional brain fart I suppose. As far as what could be buggin... well I am the mom, dad isn't around never has been. However I've played since I was 6 and I know my softball. I go all out with coaching like I did when I played... do you think it's possible she has the living in a shadow type deal going on? I'm not one to toot my own horn-ever, but when I coach I coach by visual demonstration- a lot. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I just might have been a good player, parents or players will ask about my background and at that point I'll tell them but never before, personally don't think it matters if I was good or not in relation to coaching. I have always been leary of being the coach that brags about what I have done therefor I must be a good coach- I don't like that at all.
Warriormike- Other parent as in her dad? No involvement whatsoever- never has been.
Not too sure you read the whole post... just sayin.

Have you asked her if she honestly would rather you just coach/help her instead of the entire team? It might be that she doesn't want to "share" you? Maybe a temporary coaching hiatus would be helpful?
Wishing you the best of luck.
PS I still wonder a little if my college DD still plays solely because she loves the game or because she knows that I did and do.

I have talked with her about that, been a little while though. Unfortunately I have made the commitment to coach the team so hiatus until next fall won't really be an option. She says she loves to play, in fact just tonight she talked about being so excited to get playing again after the holiday break, how she wishes the snow was gone so we can get out on the field. I try really hard not to make my dd's feel forced to play, I've said it many times. My younger dd actually took a year off well it actually lasted about half a year, to make sure she wanted to play. I actually encouraged that when I first heard words of I dunno if I wanna play next year...
My oldest dd (post topic) and I used to butt heads on everything, small or big it didn't matter. Now we get along great, except this...
Regarding #5, any suggestions for drills and what not for this?
