If your DD did NOT make a team, be supportive and guide her through this learning opportunity. Be sure SHE is the one who wants to put the time into developing her skills to prepare for "next time".
If your DD DID make a team, but not the one she wanted, be her biggest fan, let the coach do the coaching, and be sure SHE is the one who wants to put the time into developing her skills to prepare for her next challenge.
If your DD DID make THE team she wanted, have a party, be her biggest fan, and be supportive behind the scenes. Allow her the experience of advocating for herself and enjoying her dream.
Of note: our DD is a freshman who will be a JV/V swing pitcher so she has a wild spring ahead of her. Her first challenge: going with Varsity for scrimmages next week.
