This goes for anything in life.
You can't compare yourself to what the top guy is doing, you can only be better than you were yesterday.
Of course we want our kids to win, what parent doesn't?
Of course you're gonna hear us yelling "go! Pull that throttle! FASTER!!!! Pass him now!!!" when we're at the track for a race, but the car ride home is never awkward (anymore). Because David and I had to learn the hard way that you're not always gonna have a little prodigy.
Things We Discuss often
A. do YOU want to race? Don't just do it because you think we want you to, this is 100% your choice and we can always find something else for you if you don't want to do THIS.
B. You practiced hard this week, but remember, the competition is also practicing hard so don't be upset if you're still behind. We will know and YOU will know if you really gave it your all, if you really tried. As long as you are really going for it, that's all that matters. Sure we want you to win and we know you want to win too so get out there and rip it bud.
C. I noticed you have really improved on (insert good skill) but you really could improve on (insert low skill), so let's put a hard focus on getting (insert low skill) up. What do you think? Also, is there anything you feel you need to work on?
We have a super fast kid, a medium fast kid, a not-so-fast kid, and a kid that's just learning but we've put the same amount of time and type of practice for each of them so it really is up to the kid.
So remember, even the 🐢 turtle 🐢 likes to race.
