[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, do you know my son??!![/quote] Do you also happen to be the parent of a pretty incredible kid who gets frustrated by not being perfect in his sport, but also does not put in too much extra effort to get better? If so, then YES, it's the same kid. It breaks my heart to see him so sad. He was crying, repeating "I suck" and "Mom, help me" over and over.[/quote] "Okay, son, I will help you. Get out your stick/ball/bat/mitt/whatever and lets go practice." Then do it. Next get a private coach with regular appointments and go to them. Ask the coach privately to give your son homework (200 wall ball hits every evening, 10 free throw baskets in a row, 100 hits in the batting cage each night). Your kid will want to prove himself to you and his private coach. Finally, start allowing son to see you repeatedly fail at something (new video game, free throws, etc) and then watch how you correct it through practice.[/quote]
