I have seen that before, many times in fact.

My daughter is never the strongest player on the team, usually she is in the bottom 1/3 of the team, yet she focuses at practice, listens, and engages her coaches. For me that is a huge win. She still has ex-coaches that stop to talk to her and speak to her about how she is doing.
