My son who is in 4th grade is a very good baseball player and he is naturally very athletic and loves sports. However, we have run into a lot of issues because he gets very upset when he does not play well and showing disappointment on the mound is not acceptable at all in our league. His perfectionism in the game is both a blessing and a curse. He's the starting pitcher for his team and can play any position well but he is never chosen for All Stars because he cannot contain his emotions when something goes wrong in the game. It's one of the toughest issues we deal with raising him.
