How do i deal with this girl?

Question

I had this basketball tournament today and i accidentally pushed her. After the first round she starts giving me this attitude and telling everyone.I have one more day for the 2nd part of the tournament so how do I deal with her when we play.She also tells people not to pass me the ball coz When i first got the ball i accidentally forgot to dribble.

p.s. i got in the 6th grade team so shes in 6th grade,im 5th

Answer 1

She decided to have a grudge. That was her way of dealing with the push. It might have been ok if you showed remorse after you accidentally pushed her.
In her mind now, you did it purposely and so you are her enemy.

Can you still apologize? If she doesnt believe you, at least you did the right thing, and your conscience will be clear.

You cannot please everyone. You can only be true to your own standards . Play to please yourself, not her or anybody else. That way, you own your pleasure and satisfaction in the game. This is the only way in sports.

Answer 2

At your age, I dont think any advice Ill give you would actually help....Im 24. But Ill try......
Try to talk to her when she is alone, explain that you didnt mean to push her and apoligize for it. Show her you are being mature about the situation and maybe would like to be friends or at least not hate each other. Even compliment her on her basketball playing (even if its a lie) How can she be mean after that??? Let her know that you arent a threat to her or to the team.
If she keeps doing what she is doing after that then try to explain to the people that she is telling this stuff too that you didnt mean it and apoligized.

Unfortunately yall are 12/13 and even if you are mature enough to try what I wrote it doesnt mean that she will be also.... If thats how it ends up then just play the game, try to have fun and ignore her, if you have to then go to the coach and explain the situation ya know if the other team members go alone with what the girl wants with not passing you the ball. There are gonna be many more people like her that you will meet through out your life so just do your thing and dont worry about what other people think. :-)

Just play. Basketball is physical, people are going to get pushed. Pick up your spirits for tomorrow's game. If anyone asks...tell them that you are leaving your problems at the door and here to play some basketball.

Play awesome defense if your coach lets you play man. You're there a grade early because obviously a coach saw something in you or they are priming you for next year's 6th grade team.

Here's a hint from my hubby the girls's basketball coach (reading over my shoulder): "Do all the little things that everyone else is overlooking...dive for the ball when it's loose, take the pics for your teammates, block shots when you can, take pride in leadership. You're all there as a team, you're not playing for her. The coach will see what you are doing in the game."

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Forget it, just play your game to the best of your ability.

"A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke" - I think it was Churchill that said that.

Let it go.

Answer 6
