        That's the problem. You crown failures too quickly, hold on to the crown a while and encourage a better Effort.. Encouraged working and practicing a little harder, its in him to do better. He got it. We beed to see it.

    My son loves track, but he does see it as his career. Some parents are pushing their children to do things they don't want to be in. He needs to find a job career now.

    Rikkoi there has always been disappointment and failure in the path of every successful person . It’s a part of the journey. Do not stand down. Rise, embrace it, and continue to train and work harder. You will get the gold some day. Best wishes to you.
