My younger brother addressed exactly that when I discussed this with my family today. His oldest daughter is out of his coaching realm, but he was keeping the records when a mom came up to the coach and asked him why he was keeping the daughter in the game when she was walking everyone. These girls are 9 years old. Well, the coach kept this girl in the game and she ended the game with two great strike-outs.
My bro was like "you get stronger from adversity."
His coaching style is to teach the basics, whether it is baseball or softball or basketball, and encourage the kids to have fun.
