yeah. Its super frustrating to deal with the self deprecation and self immolation but when it comes to being positive, looking at videos, etc its like pulling teeth to reiterate that that's what's necessary to do it. In some ways I feel like he rebels simply against me for some reason and that stinks. I'm hopeful that the coaches will write it off to age and maybe they've seen it before but for me, the parent, it seems to be HUGE moments where he self destructs and wants everyone to know it (as he shows it).
