So my 10U daughters team finished 2nd for about the 7th time in 2 years over the weekend. It is her 4th year of travel and she is devastated. She had a chance to drive in the winning run and popped up and then dropped a 3rd strike which led to the winning run. What is such a bummer is that she got on base ever time all weekend except that at bat and is a crazy good catcher (no one stole a base on her all weekend).
She was devastated on the way home. She tried to hold back the tears but was just broken hearted. On one hand she is one of if not the best player on the team and a big reason they were undefeated going into the finals. On the other she made the error that cost them the Championship. My wife actually held her in the car while she got it all out until she fell asleep.
I love watching these games but my wife and I really feel for her. She will go back to work this week. Probably killing herself over the pop up and dropped 3rd strike. She usually takes a loss pretty well but they have such a good team and they are so close. They all really wanted to win this first tournament. I am worried about her focus and drive. She can be a bit fanatical when it come to winning and working out. Not sure if I should let her just work it all out or try to pull her away for a few days and help her clear her head. A real type A personality (and she is the 3rd of 4 kids.......should be more chilled out). She likes to go down stairs and do her own T work and such. So I can imagine her putting in major time this week.
