why jake dislike how his father smile at his attempt and failure in physical activies?

Yes. His father was an expert golfer, but Jake was always clumsy and didn't do well in sports. Jake was embarrassed and felt like a failure.
Thank you so very much ms. sue :) i also not like when someone do this to me. blood supposed to be thicker than water they supposed to help and support you.
You're very welcome.
It's no wonder that Jake is a mixed-up adult. His parents weren't supportive of him when he was a child.
Jake may dislike how his father smiles at his attempt and failure in physical activities because he feels embarrassed. This could stem from a feeling of inadequacy or a fear of being judged by his father. It's common for individuals to feel self-conscious when they are not successful at something and having someone, especially a parent, react with a smile can add to that embarrassment.
It's important to remember that everyone has different sensitivities and emotional responses, so the specific reasons behind Jake's feelings may vary. To understand the situation more accurately, it would be best to have a conversation with Jake and explore his feelings and thoughts regarding his father's reaction.
