Success and the lure of winning are the main motivating factors that help drive your child to work hard, especially during the winter and busy competition periods. Success and winning are not necessarily the same thing. Your child, like any athlete, is not always in control of winning as it depends on many factors. However, your child’s success is within their control and is something which can be achieved on a daily or weekly basis. 4z5r1u
