We are getting slammed by another snowstorm on the east coast. Luckily my daughters meet was canceled and postponed. I really was not looking forward to heading out for a 2 1/2 ride across Pa tonight to be there for a 8 am start in a major snowstorm. But daughter had an absolute meltdown, refusing to go to practice tonight which was not canceled( anyway I forced her to go to practice). It is nice to see her so enthusastic about the meets and all but I wish she would just relax and enjoy the sport. She seems absolutely obsessed with the meets, I even got her Taylor Swift tickets and it is a meet weekend she has already told me if the meet is at the same time she will not go to the concert because she will not miss a meet. Anyway it will be nice since the cancelled meet is scheduled for spring after States so it will be something she can look forward to. She seems to lose interest in practices after meet season is over so I quess this will keep her motivated. She seems to be the only one in her group that acts like this she is 9 soon to be 10, I think most of the girls were happy the meet was postponed. This is her 3rd year competiting so it not like this is the first year she has ever competed. Does anybody have a daughter who acts this way, do you think she will grow out of it? Are the girls who act like this the ones that last in this sport or do they just burn themselves out.
