[quote=Anonymous]If this is limited to sports then I would let it take its natural course. If however it is everything in his life, its time to let him know that failing to plan is planning to fail. I asked my son the same question a couple of years back. "What have you done to get better at lacrosse?" His was a lame response about throwing the ball a couple of times with the neighbor. "How many hours?" I asked. Maybe 2 or 3 he responded. I told him point blank that he did little to make the team in the last year and that he should have had at least 2 - 3 hours a week or 100 - 150 hours of practice in the last year in or to make the team. He said that sounded like too much effort. I told him he really did not want to play on a club level team and should look to intramurals or other less competitive sports. That's what he did and he is happy.[/quote]
