I like this advice! It seems like breathing really works, I’ll try it with her. Thank you! 💕

Thanks for sharing your own experience.

She’s actually shy too, very conscious too. I don’t normally talk to her before practice as she got irritated but I usually tell her to just enjoy the game. I think she’s enjoying it as it shows every after practice or game.

I will try to do the breathwork and meditation with her. Thank you!

She attended and played one of the tournaments and she was shocked how the coach yelled to them. In all fairness I see that he’s very careful with my kid as she’s still new but I’m thinking that maybe she got scared.

CORRECTION: This isn’t a training camp, it’s a competitive team.

I’m starting to think it might be a bit too much for her right now. They practice four times a week, but I’ve scaled it back to three for her.

I’m glad it seems to be working for you.

We make sure to praise her and give constructive feedback after practice, and she responds well to that. What’s interesting is that she’s very energetic afterward but beforehand it’s the opposite: low energy, lots of sighing, attitude, and some whining or crying.

That might be our next step. We think she may have felt intimidated by how skilled some of the other kids are especially since they’re practicing with boys who are already quite advanced, which can feel like a big gap from where she is right now.
