My son worked his butt off last soccer season and became our team's best goalie. I'm extremely proud of how hard he worked and how gutsy he played in goal, and most definitely let him know that.
So we're watching Brazil/Japan on TiVO, and (to avoid tivo spoilers still) one player gets open and takes an awesome, extremely powerful shot into the side of the net, no way in the world the keeper could stop it, etc. We watch the replay, and Anthony says, "wow, even *I* couldn't have stopped that!"
At least he isn't lacking in confidence
