Helping versus letting someone fail

I want to play that sport. I go to practice. I do the steps that the adult tells me to do. I like this sport. Other kids do this sport every day. They go outside on the weekend less because they’re doing this sport. I don’t do that. I like this sport. I do the steps I am told to.

If I do this sport in a team I need to do the same steps at the same time. That’s a harder thing to do. I need to move faster or stand in specific spots as a team. I can do the steps I am taught. It’s just hard work to do them faster, or move around everyone else. I want to play. To be part of a team. To be part of this team.

do I ask for help?

do I do more practice myself at home?

or did I already miss the learning cue that I needed to do more practice at home by myself in order to keep up?
