This is my group therapy. I have been the spectrum of the good and very poor sports dad. My biggest character flaw is not letting them have a bad day and be the dad they wanted rather than the analyst they really did not need.  I can hide behind the excuse "well they did ask for an assessment" "How did you do? Well kiddo, you played with less effort than you're capable of, so what if you won the game. You're definitely much better than that and you need to stop holding yourself back".  I may one day be looking back at my life and wonder why my kids and I rarely have a father son moments, I will have to blame myself for pushing them too much.  

You will be fine! A: You recognize the issue. B: they mostly want to ignore you at 14-15 anyway so no biggie.
