Gotta take it in context, he may have meant it as no pressure, just another game. I always wanted my sons to play in those atmospheres as it was just another game. By playing those extra games they understand that they can compete against anyone. All of mine played in a Final Four of either the All A State or the State tournament and played it as just another game. You dont want them to get caught up in the atmosphere. A well run summer program will put them in ball parks and situations which will help if they reach that level of high school play. I never forced mine to play, they played with a passion for the game that I was proud of. Next time you talk to your son see how the comment was meant to be taken. My guess is you will get a reaction similar to what I stated above.

Well Said! Good post!
