My DD just turned 10 years old and is a first year 10u player. Last season I noticed that once she got to 3rd she would not be able to advice home on a passed ball. She would go half way then go back to 3rd even if she could make it home if she slides. When I asked her about it she says she is scared of sliding at home because the catcher. I guess she thinks she's going to collide with the catcher if she goes home. Also she says she is worried that if she gets out the team/coach will be mad at her. The coach and I both told her that the team and coach won't be made if she gets out. I told her by not going you are going to let down your team. Does anyone have any advice on what to say or do? I know she's young but I'm just trying to limit the fear and let her enjoy the game even more then she does already.
