Mondays are the hardest. We also get a ton of homework on Mondays and then I knew I had just an hour or so until soccer. There was nothing that I could feel excited about. We talked about the need to challenge herself, but also the importance of taking a break now and then to recharge the batteries. I tend to want to do everything and more and do it better than anyone else.
Many girls quit their sport before ever finding out their true potential.
The challenge is to keep girls interested without making their sport their entire life. A high school track coach I talked to reinforced the idea. He even approaches coaching girls differently than boys because of their need to socialize. Then we start our drills. I don't need to do that with the boys.
