Stand your ground, have a tough hide, roam wild and free, have a strong spirit, let the chips fall where they may.

Oh my kid knows my main concern is that he's having fun. Just making sure he knows his old man is watching, especially the things where he can put in more effort. Call me a hard ass but a mistake or a lack of talent is one thing, but not putting in maximum effort is another. If you want to play a sport, just make sure you are giving it everything you got.
Had a sports psychologist visit my son's swim team several years ago. In his presentation to parents he gave great advice.
There are 4 roles in an athletic competition. Each person should fill one and only one roll.
Parents parent
Coaches coach
Players play
Officials officiate
If we all did this, youth and high school sports would be so much better. Get your kids to and from practice and games. Cheer for them and their teammates. Hug them after. Keep doing that.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
