We have a reoccurring problem with my daughter, and that is the exhaustion that creeps in by Friday nights. She is scheduled to be at the gym 20 hours a week. I don't think she has made it 20 hours yet. She is scheduled M-Sat, with Wednesdays off. During the week practice ends at 9:00. We live close to the gym so generally I rush to have her fed, showered and in bed by 9:30.
On Fridays, more often than not, I am getting a call from one of her coaches to pick her up because she's sick. Well, she always looks sick, so I don't think she is faking, but she never ends up getting sick, she sleeps it off by morning and is ready to go to Saturday practice. The Fridays I haven't gotten a call, she's a puddle of tears on the way home because of some "injury" that miraculously goes away by morning.
Fridays are a really great night at the gym in terms of coaching so I would really like to see her there on that particular night. She is 10. What is some advice to help her get through her whole week of practice? Or is it time I just conclude 20 hours is too much for her, 9:00 is just too late, and scale back on the hours.
