My daughter is a very good athlete. She is in 10th grade
and it's her second year on the varsity lacrosse team.
Last year she split the position with one of the older
girls. This year she is playing the full game and the
other girl was switched to defense. The other girl isn't
very good. She has been very nasty to my daughter,
blaming her for everything. She blames my daughter for
not getting back on defense quickly enough, even though
it's obvious my daughter is running full speed, and when
she misses simple passes from my daughter the blame game
continues. My daughter truly is the better player. I'm
not being biased. My daughter came home from the game
today crying because this girl is constantly yelling at
her on the field. If my daughter responds, the other
girl's best friend jumps in. My question is do we
encourage her to go to the coach or is this the type of
thing varsity coaches don't want to deal with. My husband
witnessed an incident today which was totally the other
girls fault. This girl is making my daughter miserable.
Other girls have agreed that she is nasty to my daughter,
but unfortunately nobody is bold enough to step up.
Should my daughter put her in her place, ignore her or try
to involve the coach. Please help me help her.
