That is so true, one great thing about sports is that they see winners around them and are surrounded by positive influences, I talk to him a lot about his experiences and helps him understand things. Like he would come back from the gym and say Oh dad Jason is so strong and he can bench 165lbs, I asked him why do you think that is and the answer was he is a year older, he eats well and has weights at home. So now he knows what it takes to be strong. Sports is really a bonding thing as well. You drive them to practices, take them out of town, watch their competition stay in hotels etc.
