[quote=Anonymous]How about asking rather than taking the lead. Something like, "well, the games are over, what do you think about this season?" Then listen. He may say he had fun even though they lost a lot. He may say he was frustrated by the coach, teammates or his own play. Whatever he says, unless it is really self-hating ( we lost because of me, etc.), I would validate it. Either "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I liked watching too" or " "Yes, it sucks to lose all the time. Let's hope the next team your on has a better record" All and all, its not a big deal. It probably bothers you more than him.[/quote]
