I coach a 12u B-level travel team. I have a young lady that I've coached for 3 years and this year there is a definite change in how she approaches the game. She is a great kid, a great athlete, good attitude but doesn't seem to be enjoying the game itself anymore. After talking with some of the team (player) leaders, this particular player has said that she no longer wants to play softball and wants to focus on other sports, but because it's somewhat mid-season her parents want her to finish this year. As a Father, I appreciate that sentiment. I want to be very clear, I do not take this personally and in no way shape, or form plan on taking it out on the player. My question is should I talk to the player to see if there's a way I could make this season better or more enjoyable for her? Or should I just leave it alone as it's a family matter?
