Advice Needed to Help Calm Nerves

Much of this is about perspective. It may seem like her entire future is riding on this one game, but remind her it's really not. The best thing she can do is pitch her game, and if the coaches like her then she's in good shape. If they don't, it wasn't the right fit anyway. But if coaches are going out of their way to come see her odds are they already like her. So she should view it as a chance to shine rather than worry about failing. Stick to the process instead of worrying about the outcome and that should help relieve some of the pressure.

One other thing to keep in mind: there is a lot of pressure in college softball. Coaches like to see how the kids they're interested in react to pressure. Battling through it rather than giving in to it often tells the coaches a lot about a player's character and desire. Everybody has bad days. Even coaches.

DD travel ball coach emphasized that his team was always watched. DD was brought on his 18U the summer she turned 14, and after years of expectations of always being watched, DD never really seemed to tense up at the news of someone asking about her. At the end of games the coach would send those of appropriate age off the talk to coaches who were interested and he would always have a half dozen business cards from coaches with player numbers written on the back and pass those out to those who were not of age to talk directly. After getting a half dozen or so cards my DD realized that they were indeed being watched and knew to give 110% all the time.
Also the coach also stressed that he once heard a coach comment "I like the way she struck out" alluding to good attitude, hustling back to dugout etc. so yes recruiting coaches can see positives in mistakes and they are not the end of the world.
With DD being a pitcher, he always stressed having a game face and not showing emotion even if it "started snowing oats"
