Sometimes the failure of our sons should be credited to the talent and the experience of the other kid and not so much as a failure on them personally.

I would agree 1000%, yet when I used this scenario below:

"If I have a Freshman son in college and he just gives up a bomb to a senior and it really gets my son down, I have no problem telling him the kid (or man) is three or four years older, more experienced and has done it before. And then I would tell him that is what your striving for, hard work and experience will take you to the same place. Learn from your mistake and move on."

I was told I was giving my son excuses and was even then asked this:
"Curious what other excuses you find acceptable?"

I believe I did exactly what was mentioned in the above quote along with providing my son the encouragement that
he so desperately needed at that time.

Go figure
