the_rckI'm feeling guilty about making Cordelia go to camp today. I mean, she didn't protest a lot, and she walked cheerfully out of the door when her ride arrived. She just said a few times that the drills weren't any fun and that working in the heat of the gym was miserable. If she'd really not wanted to go, she could have done a lot to make it more likely that I'd let her stay home.
I think this is the problem she has with sports-- She wants to play, but she dislikes (or outright hates) the work of learning the game and improving her playing. When Rec & Ed sports run out, she probably won't play any longer because she won't have put in the work to be good enough to make a high school sports team when there's actually competition. I think she will regret that because she does enjoy playing, but she hates drills.
I think some part of it is perfectionism. She wants to do it right the first time and not to do it if she can't do it perfectly. I don't know how she can play at all, given that. Maybe playing is different, maybe then she's so caught up in doing that perfection doesn't matter.
