Mine aren't old enough for something like that, but I'm sure I'd be anxious internally. Do your best to project confidence in them, and you're there no matter what happens.

Don't tell her, "We'll still love you even if you mess up", because it will acknowledge the fact that you considered the possibility.

My oldest starts at cb for his high school team, my second oldest starts at 2b in Cal Ripken bb league.
I get butterflies like a mofo every time. It's natural.

Parents nervous for their kids? Nope. You're the only one.

Tell her she's walking home if she disappoints up there.

Have a shot of whiskey with her before the show. It will calm the nerves.

But still I get anxious for her because I know that in HS what you fear the most is looking bad in front of your friends. |

I imagine every parent gets nervous about their kids.
If fact the art of parenting is probably an endless job of dealing with various states of nervousness.

His dad was the old-fart 90% deaf chemistry teacher [since he was 90% deaf, it was a tradition that the class smart ass would answer 'here' for everyone in class]. He lettered in tennis. He didn't participate in any social clubs, but was sole member of several academic ones. At the talent show, while most were doing dance numbers or trying to play rock songs, he took 'best in show' with a Rachmaninoff piano solo. Reminiscent of Rushmore, before 'Rushmore' existed. Dude ended up as THE national merit scholar. Had full rides and acceptances to 90% of the Ivy league. What's this ramble about? I guess that, even in the throes of HS, I recognized that 'being cool' should ever stifle true talent and ability. THat guy lived/lives a richer life than anyone else in our class, even though he waded through HS with minimal attention/cred/cool, because his pops kept his eyes on the prize.
