have you thought about retiring from coaching? I find the games more enjoyable in a chair hiding beer in a foam cup like the rest of the parents. Seriously though, I had this exact same problem when I coached 10u. I decided my dd would be better off with someone else coaching. I also realized she was getting a reputation as a brat and good players would not want to join my team because of it. I would guess she is a good player, maybe the best, on your team. Find a team where she is challenged to work hard and control her attitude for playing time. You are not doing her any favors allowing this to continue. Good luck. I've been there.
I had pretty much the same issue with my own DD. I also gave up coaching . Come to find out I was the one causing the problem. I was so critical of everything she did. Even when she did what I asked I still didn't give her the credit she deserved. The worse her attitude got the harder I was on her. Once I finally opened my eyes ,I stepped down and it was like a totally different little girl. It was the best thing I ever did for the relationship with my daughter.
