A growth spurt has changed my daughter's movement and confidence

A rapid growth period can temporarily change balance, timing and confidence. I would treat that as something to support, not something to correct with extra pressure. Give her a little more space and time in some practices, then gradually rebuild the tighter pictures. Keep her involved in technical work, but do not judge every awkward movement against how she looked before the growth spurt. The confidence message matters. She has not lost her ability; her body is asking her to recalibrate. I would also monitor the overall load and speak with the parent if she reports pain, unusual fatigue or a problem that persists. On matchday, praise brave decisions and involvement rather than how smooth the action looks. Time, varied movement and patient coaching usually help far more than repeatedly pointing out that she looks less coordinated. If there is no pain, I would first adjust the challenge rather than automatically remove football. Use slightly larger spaces, shorter intense blocks and enough recovery between them. Monitor how she responds across the week. If fatigue becomes unusual, persistent or is joined by pain, the parent should seek appropriate medical guidance.
