Im worried about my brother?

Im 16 and my brother is only 10. He is a big and strong kid (5ft and 115 pounds). He is the "star" pitcher of his baseball team and a great defensive lineman for his football team already and has plenty of friends and all. The reason I'm worried is because my dad is his coach and he is always depended on to bring his teams to victory. But when he makes a mistake, he totally flips out! Starts crying and throwing things around and making a scene. I dont know if its the pressure or frustration or what but it has been getting him in so much trouble lately by my parents and the other coaches. He really is a sweet kid who absolutely loves the sports but nobody knows what to do with his agressive outbursts.. any help is greatly appreciated

Answer:
A therapist may be able to understand his problem better than we can imo.
take him to like a sports psychologist or something
maybe they can figure out whats up with him
it's just the stress of sports, your dad could go easier on him though.
Its just a phase the little kid will grow out of it.
anger management.
Gee I would get frustrated too if I had all that pressure on me- the pressure to win every game no matter what!! Thats why hes acting out. Too much pressure too young!!
well u need to talk to ur dad.and tell him to stop putting so much pressure on ur brother.ur brother is making a scene cuz he was always depended on to win the game.so when he loses he gets like that
Have someone that he really respects (but not Dad) talk to him about what it means to grow up and be mature about things. If he really respects this person, he'll listen and learn.
After all, he is only 10!
I would have the whole family inlcuding the teams to have a interviention with him to tell him how his behavior has been affecting them. I think you guy should really stress to your father that it is affecting your family and that he needs to control his angry and that this could hurt his son in the long run and cause depression .
Your brother's outbursts should not be tolerated. If they are tolerated because he is the star of the team, they will continue because he has no good reason to control his behavior. An aggressive outburst should be an automatic trip to the bench. Three strikes, you're out. Off the team for the season. Trust me, a kid who cries and throws things at 10 and gets away with it becomes a kid who goes to jail at 16. Getting in trouble now is the best thing for your brother.
i think whats getting to him is he thinks when he messes up hes letting people down so it frustrated. or what it could be is he as anger issues or hes bipolar. Real talk. if it gets too bad try to get him to go to the doctor and get it checked out im not sure what its called but i know its probably a medical condition.
The best advice I ever got was from a guy I coached briefly with on an all star team. He has coached for 40 plus years.

When my son went into pitch, he came over to me and said "whatever you do, let me talk to your son, whether it's good job or if he needs to be critiqued" He said that he would expect the same from me if his own son was pitching. He understood how Dad's can be very critical when their own son plays and that the best thing to do is let someone else do the coaching. I coached 4 more years after that until my son started playing ball in High School. It was the best piece of advice I ever got. My son was more relaxed and took to others advice better from his old man. :) If your Dad has an assistant coach that could do that for him, I guarentee it will be helpful.
Wow, what a shame. It sounds like he is definitely under a lot of pressure, and he probably has put most of it on himself. Some of it is from your father and teammates as well. He doesn't want to let anyone down. In his own mind, he may feel humiliated at the thought of causing his team a victory. He needs to be reassured that no one will think badly of him if he's not perfect every time, and he shouldn't be so hard on himself. Maybe he should take a break from sports for a while or he needs to sit a game out as a consequence to his unsportsmanlike behavior. Whatever the outcome, I hope things work out for the best.
Sounds to me like maybe he's afraid your father will be disappointed in him if he makes a mistake, and that's his way of not getting more pressure put on him. And another lecture on how to do it right next time. Go team go !! He might not really like it deep down inside, or is burnt out on living your fathers dream for him. Tell your father to give him a break from the sports for a while & let him explore other things. If he wants to go back, {without your fathers influence}so be it. If not he really is under pressure from your dad. It gives him a way out without having to admit he doesn't like it.
