She lost. Again. Everyone knows she can play. Even the coach from the other team asked us if it was all "head" problems. There isn't much we can do except keep encouraging and trying to find new ways to support her. Man is it tough! On one hand you want to yell. On the other you want to cry. I can see the frustration build in her face until she collapses under the weight of it and gives up on a match. But she goes back out there and plays again. Never quitting, just starting over.
Whoever discovered water was the most erosive force on earth, must have had a daughter who refused to give up no matter how many marks were in the loss column. The sweat and tears on the side lines are nothing compared to those left on the court.
