[quote=Anonymous]It’s really hard. I’d acknowledge his feelings, praise improvements, and then use humor to get through. If he’s making cut times, he’s doing great. Keep it light, joke about how he did great considering he was swimming against The Rock the next lane, and act like it’s not the end of the world if he stops making some cuts at this stage - it’s just middle school swimming and his two me may yet come again (and if it doesn’t, that’s okay too). He’ll take a lot of cues from you. On the flip side, one of my boys developed really early and struggled on the other side. All his big drops were at 12-13 and 15-16 has been tough. [/quote]
