Your daughter chose not to pursue softball at a higher level so that she could focus on being more feminine?
Exactly. This aspect of a young females mind is of great importance to them. I understand, because I listen and study what is going on, and what she says. Most Dads do not do this. Most Dads have a wife who takes care of much of this.
You are exactly right. Talk to your wife. She knows. Probably tries to explain ...
DD was looked upon as being a butch. Did not like it. Did not want to be part of that club. That is it in a nutshell. Tough subject to talk about. Started taking care of her appearance. started wearing make-up., lost weight.
Yet still plays a mean game of ball and is quite happy. The mind of a young female is extremely complicated. The issue of being feminine creeps in. Becomes important.
She is much, much happier now ... Than before.
This will happen to over 99% of softball player? It is fact. Most, if not all, are in denial. Once college starts, for those who make it that far ... It is game on.
