For a parent who never played the game, I can finally help my child learn skills and strategies without giving them bad information. I've been looking for something like this since my child first straped on skates and a helmet. THANKS!!! This is the most fantastic thing I’ve ever seen!

]]> Comment on The Fear of Failure is Often Worse than Failure Itself by Jeff http://sportsesteem.wordpress.com/2003/12/15/the-fear-of-failure-is-often-worse-than-failure-itself/#comment-65 Jeff Sun, 11 Nov 2007 16:21:59 +0000 http://sportsesteem.wordpress.com/2003/12/15/the-fear-of-failure-is-often-worse-than-failure-itself/#comment-65 Age 10 is too young to be worried about winning or losing or big differences between practice and games. It should be about fun. Having fun is the only way to get good performance during practice or duing a game. This is not just a 10 year old issue, it is also a professional issue. There is an article in today's paper talking about the turnaround at the Dallas Cowboys this season with same basic personnel as last season under Bill Parcells. "But it's Phillips (the Cowboys head coach) who has created an atmosphere that allows the players to maximize their ability because it's OK to have fun." Emphasize the fun of playing and games should be just one more day with friends, just like practices.

He simply does not perform in a game. His coaching staff have pretty much given up on him, and I am worried that he will quit Hockey in frustration. He loves the sport, and it will damage his self esteem significantly, if we cannot get through this. My 10 year old son is one of the more talented players in our rink — during practice.
