I can already see that in my daughter, too. she's going to be so feisty but so critical of her own abilities already.

And couldn't get a date to save my life in high school. Phoebe is extremely tall at her age. She's almost as tall as me and she's only 11 years old. So far, no effects other than having to really pay attention to her posture more when figure skating. <br /><br />Hope she gets to play more next time.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843760065614670505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-1033038156777917042012-05-30T19:29:24.556+02:002012-05-30T19:29:24.556+02:00Aww, I'm tearing up here ...

I tried out for shooter and I could shoot well but there was always another good shooter and nobody else quite as tall as me to harass the other team's shooter.<br /><br />I think you handled it so well. She just wanted to please her mum and dad and now she knows she'll get her chance. One day they'll be the strongest team and she'll be kept very busy at her end of the court.alidaonlinehttp://seizethechocolate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-31985457029615617922012-05-30T09:52:36.375+02:002012-05-30T09:52:36.375+02:00Shame!

Situations like these also made me leave the game frustrated and near tears. I begged for another position every year but it was denied due to my length. It sucks big time. This resulted in my not playing in High School. So unfair.blackhuffhttp://www.mydailywalk.co.zanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-81128543549979987612012-05-29T12:54:08.485+02:002012-05-29T12:54:08.485+02:00I did sing in my 20's but think it will take a...I did sing in my 20's but think it will take a lot of practice to get the voice going again.cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788508986252339771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-46665127386035365342012-05-29T12:53:00.202+02:002012-05-29T12:53:00.202+02:00Aw shame man...I think you dealt with it all very ...Aw shame man...I think you dealt with it all very well.
