[QUOTE="DDD, post: 98487, member: 35"] I think the pain that goes with rejection from a coach or a team is hugely painful for a teen. As you remember, Pony, my easy child/difficult child was a natural. He worked hard but he just naturally had the coordination, speed, quickness of feet, full game understanding etc. A friend of mine had a son who tried out for every single team and put all of his effort into it. Time and time again he would be eliminated during tryouts. I admired his tenacity and think it will help him as an adult. on the other hand, my easy child/difficult child made all the teams and became so associated with his sports prowess that one evil coach was able to derail his whole sense of self and send him off to the addiction world. That was the last time I ever saw him cry. Your easy child will be in my thoughts and prayers with sincere caring. I do think, however, that "maybe" by feeling the pain and then moving on for the next life experience he will mature from it. Even the hardworking difficult children often just can't take the pain and the embarrassment and they set themselves up for AA/Na membership where they are surrounded by others who blunted the pain. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
