A coaches job is to teach each the proper fundamentals of fielding throwing hitting and running. In addition the proper fundamentals that are unique to each position. This is just basic stuff that needs to be taught. There is a lot more.along the way you try to deal with each player in a positive manner so that each kid can be as confident as possible. If this environment does not exist then leave. Too many options available to player than to be involved in a bad environment. With all this being said, the coach has the responsibility to put players on the field that give the team the best chance to win. The player has got to do the job. When there is competition for a job you step up to the challenge not back down. That's sports and life. Go home with your kid. Get back to the basics of fielding and throwing. You make errors due to fundamental issues. Fix em. Do that and I bet she gets back in the lineup. It is not the coaches fault. Get back to work. Your meeting is likely to make it worse. Your DD has to earn that job back and all will be right with the world and her confidence will come back. If she or you can't embrace that challenge then likely can forget high school ball and for sure college. Those programs are looking for competitors
