I played professional Call of Duty over 10 years ago, and honestly tons of kids can get pretty angry at that age if they are competitive. My competitive nature never went away as I was/am an athlete as well. The anger from video games does subside though as they get older, but never completely goes away, it mostly comes down to maturity. Video games can also be a great way to relieve stress at that age as well, which is why many kids let loose in competitive games. The main problem is when that anger transfers over to real life, and starts having an effect on his day to day operations in school and other activities. All in all, I wouldn't be looking at his gaming habits as a bad thing, as i've learned as a high school athletic coach. The competitive nature is what sets many people apart from their peers, allowing them to succeed and become better everyday, in school, and later in life as a functioning member of society.
