[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 12 and 14yo boys. They are both smart and athletic. My boys are athletic and they have both had times where they have had others putting them down. Trash talking is common and they tune it out and move on. One of the biggest trash talkers on my son’s travel soccer team had an older brother and parents who would should and yell from the sidelines. I remember thinking that is where the kid gets it from.

My point is even the athletic kids feel bad. My younger kid seems less sensitive than my older son.

The science and chess kids can also be just as bad as the sports kids. [/quote]

Did they trash talk their own teammates?   At a game????    Trash talk is reserved for the opponent to rattle him so he won’t play well.   Why would you want to do that to a team player on your team.

There’s a difference between trash talking the other team and bullying a teammate at practice  so that he loses any self confidence he may have had playing the game.  [/quote]
