[quote=Anonymous]You can’t pull him of the field, but I understand the urge. You can talk to him about your expectations for his attitude before the game. I am assuming he is young, so you could try a reward for good effort/attitude or punishment for bad effort/attitude. My daughter is young and I noticed she was standing back and waiting for breakaways so she could get goals with little actual effort, so we rewarded good defense and now she plays more evenly. My son is older and sometimes has attitude, but I mainly ignore it. I do set expectations that I expect him to make a good effort regardless of his position or how the team is doing though. After games I always comment on his effort during the game to make this the highest priority (the only thing you can control is your own attitude).[/quote]
