bipolar confidence at the plate

[guero_gordo]

14U DD is technically a very good hitter and goes through streaks of tremendous success. Everything was coming together for her a few weeks back and she was hammering the ball and as cocky.

2 weeks of rain later, she had a rough game hitting and her confidence went in the toilet. Demeanor and vocabulary totally changed. I just cannot fathom how someone so skilled can have such a fragile sense of confidence. Very frustrating.

My 14yr old did the same last weekend. Looked at some nice pitches. Swung a couple times that it looked like she was trying to miss. Went from trying to pump everyone up and having fun to just quiet...kind of slumped over. I thought it was boy trouble, friend trouble, school trouble or something. She said she was fine. I will never know. She seemed to be back to her old happy confident self finally yesterday.....GIRLS.....
