[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Bottom line is that he looks better because he is playing against worse kids. It is as simple as that.

And that's where he is feeling confident. Competing with peers or those above your level confidence plays a bigger role than most realize. Most naturally have enough to compete on level. Some have enough to overcome deficiencies in physical aspects. Confidence is a skill that can be learned. So dont feel like its over. Find some books on sports psychology and try some mental exercise with him. What do you have to lose?[/quote]

That makes sense.  He clearly does have a lot of anxiety when playing travel[b], he has a little physical movement that he does with his hand whenever he is nervous (like public speaking) and he does it all the time during travel games.  [/b]It's not noticable to most, but since I am his mom, I definitely see it.[/quote]

This is likely a tic and my son does it too.  He did it alot for 2 months during his first time playing futsal a couple years ago. Now its just once or twice at the start of an intense game. I never mention it so that I dont raise his anxiety but he tells me he's not nervous so I leave it alone. [/quote]
