As "An Observer" already mentiond above, tell her the Michael Jordan story. As a sophomore in high school he did not make the varsity and had to play JV. You can find many retellings of this story online. I'm sure you can figure out how to spin it for your daughter.

P.S. Jordan was still pissed off about not making the HS team years later. I believe he brought the kid who beat him out and the coach who cut him to his NBA Hall of Fame induction.
