My DD is on a newly formed 14U travel team. They played about 5 games in the fall just to give the girls a feel for the game. DD missed the first tournament due to academic committment. So last weekend was her first tournament. She is an aspiring 1st baseman, hours of individual practice, hours of team practice. The coach started her the 1st game of the tournament, not a single error playing the position. Second game the coach starts another player, who did fairly well, although some of the team doesn't feel comfortable with her at the position. When it came down to the 3rd game, same girl is starting and coach tells my DD that she is sitting the bench. DD ended up sitting the bench for the playoff and championship games as well. She was crushed, she honestly thought that she had done something wrong. How do I get her spirits up and get her ready for the tournament this weekend?
