Reply to "Dealing w/son's disappointment"

You've probably heard more times than you can remember, baseball is a game of failure. I'm going back for a second to when my son was eleven. My son had a bad LL game. He made three errors. His team lost due to the unearned runs. I asked my son if he wanted to get on the field tomorrow and practice. Here's his response ...

"I sucked today. But I don't suck. I just have to get out on the field again and be me. Now, what's for dinner?"

My son was one of the top players in the league when he was eleven. He was by far the best when he was twelve. He never lost the perspective what is behind me is history. His high school coach was quoted as saying, "He's not arrogant. But damn, he's confident."
