[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks to the PPs for all the kind words and insights. And to the two posters who could not resist being AHs, no I don't raise my kid through advice received via anonymous fora, but it is helpful to hear other people's experiences. We are also talking to his wonderful teachers and might talk to a psychologist if it turns out necessary but for now we are not quite there yet.

I also want to make clear I am not trying to blame my husband. I was just trying to think through what might have gone wrong and why soccer suddenly became a source of stress and whether part of the problem might actually have come from our side. Neither of us were ever athletes at any level and this is something entirely new for us to navigate. I am mostly trying to figure out how to balance not pushing him into something he might not want to do anymore with not letting him give up too easily.

We will definitely try to take some of the suggestions, work on mindset, stop any criticism and try to help him enjoy the sport again. We are aware he is likely to be dropped next year (also because he will be one of the youngest in the new system), but as some mentioned, it might be a blessing in disguise. The good thing is that regardless of where he ends up there will be a change in coach, as the current one already announced he will leave next year. So now we just need to somehow push through the rest of the season.
