It's been a while since A did any strenuous exercise. So I was especially surprised (and pleased) when he made it on the rowing team. Out of 200 kids who participated in the tryouts, A made it on the team of 12 novice boys.
A is having trouble keeping up with the running training.
A: "I have been the last one, twice."
Me: It's okay. Somebody's got to the be the last one jogging up the bridge. You've only just started. If it becomes a serious problem, let's figure something out so you can get some extra running training.
A: "OK."
Me: But if you totally hate the crew team, don't feel like you need to continue or need to do it for me.
A: "OK."
Post-news: A came home the following day and stated that he "really enjoys crew" and reported that he found himself running alongside his teammates, not behind them.

Sam did that at first in fencing, and then just as suddenly turned the corner. I'm sure A will find his groove and really enjoy crew.
