[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean things like cut from a team, made a B team, did not get a great position they wanted, etc? How did those things turn out to have a positive impact on your child as they developed? I could use a little positivity or encourage for my youth Athlete[/quote] Ha ha, let me count the ways! Kid #1: Yes, B team. That's a fair assessment of his abilities, but it still stung. Over time, he realized he was not a great soccer player, but he was a good runner. Competed well at high school level. Kid #2: Inopportune growth spurt, horrible, toxic coach. I guess the nicest thing I could say is that it made her mentally strong and she escaped without grievous injury or eating disorder. They're good kids. Good students. As they get older, you realize that sports don't last forever. They're supposed to be at least somewhat fun. If that ceases, time to really think about where they're putting their time. [/quote]
