[quote=Anonymous]It is frustrating to put in a lot of hard work and then be passed up by someone who rolls off the couch and is naturally better at the sport. As parents, we try to teach that hard work gets rewarded, but in the real world, it doesn’t always get rewarded in the way the person wants. Sometimes you have to switch from extrinsic rewards (roster spots) to intrinsic (personal goals, fitness, fun, socialization). That way, your son will feel more in control. Even if hard work isn’t rewarded, it’s never wasted. The effort your son puts in will serve him well elsewhere. [/quote]
