Kind of. That is a real concern.I get it now. But the question is, if the girls going to wear the mask no matter the level of play whether it be rec, college or NPF, what difference does it make since she would be making the play anyway? Or are you thinking along the lines of she may bow to peer pressure and toss it so now you really don't know if she will be the same player since you've only observed her with a mask on?
The biggest concern, though, is that we do not know how the girl reacts under the most severe pressure. The girl who will block a ball with her face and still throw the girl out after the ball bounces off of it can be trusted under such pressure.
The girl who does things while protected may not react as well under the most severe pressure. I am not saying she won't, only that we don't know what she'll do.
When you are talking about the top 1%, knowing that the skills are 100% ingrained and natural to the girl becomes something to consider.
