Parents Day after competition

[Dream]

Is it normal for kids to be emotional the day after a competition?
The competition was great but the next day DD was having a hard time with life and needed extra TLC. Wondered if this is common?

Sometimes? That’s when the high highs and low lows wear off and they realize it’s back to the practice grind. Whatever went well, there’s the pressure to do it again. Whatever went badly, there’s maybe only 2-3 practices to fix it before the next meet.

Mine also never eats a proper meal after a competition so it’s maybe low blood sugar, too.
