My son made it through an entire soccer game today without complaining about being tired. Do you understand how huge this is? We're talking about a kid who says he's exhausted after walking to the mailbox. I'm putting this on his college application. Motivation: finally ran without whining.
That's awesome man! Those moments are gold. My kid used to complain about EVERYTHING during sports and now at 10 he actually asks to go to practice. You're building something real there.
Sounds like he's finding his stride. How long has he been playing? I'm trying to get my daughter to stick with something for more than two seasons lol
The small wins are actually the big wins when you think about it. That's character building right there.

This is huge. People don't realize that endurance and mental toughness start young. You should definitely acknowledge that with him, even if it seems small.
