I always ask the following question, but get few replies. Here goes... It's actually a series of questions.
When your 15 yo is competing against kids 1 to 2 years younger, do you actually cheer him on against the little kids?
When one the of younger players gets the best of him, do you tell him has to work harder? When he has a game where he scores 3 goals, against the younger boys, do you tell him great job? Is it possible you could be filled with pride when he has success against the younger players? When you.... I think you get it. Oh by the way, that feeling in your stomach isn't from the ham sandwich at lunch, ITS SHAME.
