DD has picked up with a new 12u team for fall. She was really excited to play with this team in the beginning because when we had played against them in tourneys, they seemed like a really talented team. We have now played in 4 tourneys with this team and only won 5 games. The defense is absolutely horrid. We had 7 errors in our last game and gave up a ton of extra bases.
DD is pitching her heart out and getting the easy grounders and pop-ups but the defense is not backing her up. She understands that they should be making the plays but blames herself for every hit. She thinks she is letting the team down because she should be shutting every batter down.
How can I make her understand that she is doing her job by getting the defense what should be easy routine outs? I am proud of her for not pointing the finger and for wanting to share the responsibility but she thinks she is a failure because she can't carry the whole defense.
