One thing I didn't realize till I had kids is that when kids fail at something, it's more often because they get upset at doing badly than because of actual inability. If you're not careful, this tendency can continue well into adulthood.

Struggling with my kids on this now, what’s the solution?
Depends a lot on the age and the kids' disposition. My 11 yo for example is super competitive. So it works to point out to him that keeping calm is a strategy for winning. Especially when I can show examples of e.g. Lionel Messi doing it.

Has he seen the Michael Jordan documentary on Netflix. It’s really helping me improve my focus and discipline. It might help him see another person who is super competitive

Wild card - “depends on disposition”. Is that not the central difficult problem to solve- how to find our and kids ‘unique’ disposition at a young age- so that this leads to a beautiful, purposeful life and best use of hard work in a certain context. I struggle with this a lot.
