Should I try to convince her that that's a wrong motive to play tennis? That tennis is "just a game"? It seems pretty important to her

Teach her to be super respectful off court and never try to change her attitude about destroying the competition that is a great mindset ,nurture it as much as possible , the only time my player is to show kindness on the court is if his competition gets hurt other then that he is there to crush them .
Best to you and your kids
