So I will keep this high level and want to see if any of you mid/later teen parents have had success with one approach or another in this kind of case:
DD excels in sports. She focuses on SB and did well enough to get wanted by a college. Meanwhile she still loves VB and goes back to play the HS season each year.
DD has been successful in her SB endeavors because she is a TRUE competitor. She hates to lose and will never give up. Great for her achieving her goals (but difficult in arguments let me tell ya!!!)
When she goes back to HS VB she always needs to integrate from her TB team of true competitors to a group of mildly talented but always limited by "rec-ball-attitude" varsity VB players. (not cutting them here - just defining them)
Example - the "best" VB player will after a bad VB loss she will lend solidly to will just immediately get back into her giggly mode and act like nothing ever happened. This will make DD's blood boil.
Anyone have any parenting advice for a very competitive DD that has allot of difficulty dealing with a team plum full of rec-ball-player attitudes?
