Losing at a game.

NAS80182

How can I help my grandson he has Adhd, autism, SPD and may have Odd and if he loses at a game he has a major breakdown. He plays for a Sunday football team and when he loses he kicks off(not all the time) this can be very severe. It can include him swearing at his manager or other players, hitting the ground, screaming, shouting and just generally ignore adult interventions. We have tried everything we can to help him but nothing is working. He is an excellent footballer with real passion for the game. At the minute his manage will only let him train due to his really bad behaviour at a tournament where he lost to another team from his actual club. Please help we are out of ideas.

  • Even professional athletes loses at games, and if he can't handle losing, he should not play the game. Games are meant to be fun, and instead of putting everyone down for losing as if it's their fault, he should work on himself and practice to be a better player. If he is good at what he does, he also needs to be a good member to his team. He needs to practice handling his emotions when he loses, and that should be a part of his training. Everyone can get angry, but not everyone takes their anger out on others. A part of maturing is learning how to cool yourself down when you get angry, and a mark of immaturity is when someone gets angry and takes their anger out on everyone.
