Don't just teach your children how to be successful, teach them how to respond when they are not successful, teach them how to handle failures and learn from their mistakes.
Short term, coaching can have its frustrations...but realize in reality it's a long game with highs & lows - 40 years plus for me.
Following are 3 points I’d like to share from my time on the track, field, court and turf, in the hope they may help you find answers...

Five Feynman rules for Life: 🧠
i) Take mistakes as Lessons.
ii) Focus is the key.
iii) Study hard what interests you the most.
iv) Don't worry about what other people think.
v) Skills are more valuable than your grades.
It's very important for you to realize that other people's thoughts, words, actions, behaviour, and feelings are not your responsibility.
What you think about yourself is more important than what people think about you.
Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. It is defined by your willingness to learn, solve problems and try new things. You are more than just a number. Develop your skills. Share your brilliant ideas. Your skills are more valuable than your grades. 🧠
