parental/coach word of advice dont over work her, she will quit the sport.

a girl on my daughters travel volleyball team dad pushes her like crazy she is very good made the jv team as a 7th grader her school was going to put her on varsity and her dad said no because he wanted her to get the playing time at jv first then next year she will play varsity. she told her dad this weekend that she wants to quit she doesnt enjoy it any more because he pushes her too much. girl is 13 years old has a pitching coach batting coach and a strength trainer. let her enjoy the sport if she wants it bad enough she will do what it takes but the more you push her you will drive her away
