don't be tough on yourself. kids will be kids and boys will be boys. i used to be an after-school tutor for inemdteriate and high school kids, and one little punk in particular asked to have another tutor after a session of him and i just not getting anything done. yeah, i felt bad, and the new tutor got through to him much easier than i did. but by the end of that semester, when he told me his grades went up, that was all that mattered to me. i know i'm a good tutor and i felt like a failure for a time, but in the end, it was about him, not me. i'm glad that he had the common sense to take initiative in his own studies and request a tutor that would help his grades soar, and i'm glad that, in the end, everything worked out where it was supposed to. so for whatever real reason your two boys left the team, just know that it'll be ok in the end. you can (and should) always work on the future; just when you're done, let the past go.
