My daughter is better than me.
She's graduated from grassroots sports to competitive now and she had her evaluations this weekend for the first time. When I was a kid, I got so nervous at any type of tryout/eval and I would clam up and suck. I put so much pressure on myself and couldn't get out of my own head. Ultimately why I failed.
I explained to her what evaluations are and how they work, and she might not be placed on the first team. She was just purely excited to get back on the field and none of that bothered her. She said yeah, of course she wants to make the first team and she's going to do her best, but she'll be happy anywhere she plays
Not sure how I got so lucky with her character traits.
