We added a new player to our team this fall (14U). She is a good player but she is extremely hard on herself. For instance, yesterday she double pumped on a throw from C to 3B. We got the out and ended the inning. On the way in to the dugout, she was so hard on herself for double pumping the throw. I think it was still bothering her after the game. Her head was down and you could just see it on her face.
She is new to all of the coaches so we are still trying to figure out what makes her tick. She is very dedicated, traveling almost 2 hours 1 way to practice each week. She hustles in practice and does everything we ask and seems coachable.
Id like to help her get out of her own head, if possible. What have you done to help your players that are TOO hard on themselves? Im glad she cares but I dont want it to affect her play.
