My son just bombed at the tryout for his little league all star team. Poor kid is crushed.
I remember having awful showings at try-outs and being all kinds of destroyed by it. He doesn't want to hear it though... Letting yourself down is a tough one. It's too bad he's too young for a beer.

I will show him that when the team is announced.
He's really disappointed in his performance right now, but will most likely be even more choked when the roster is released.
If the all star coach talks to the team coaches there may be hope, but he looked like a different player out there. He's still reading star wars comics in the kitchen and letting out long, loud sighs. Told me hugs aren't helping...

Sounds like your son has a great father - so he's ahead of the game already!
Another "sports story" (this time involving hockey)...
Imagine being the LAST CUT of a gold medal Olympic team. That was Herb Brooks (yes, THAT Herb Brooks). He was the last cut in that "other" miracle on ice - the 1960 Team USA which won the gold medal in hockey. Imagine how that must have felt. He got his "redemption" of sort when he coached the 1980 Team USA to a gold medal.

He has the type of character to channel the disappointment as motivation. Not much quit in the boy.
