I would say the most important part of this, is for you to work through the above as quickly as possible.
Your happiness or self worth needs to get separated from the achievements of your children. Your son needs to know that your sad that he's sad, but otherwise couldn't give a rat's ass about what team he's on, what sports he quits or any of it. You'll be there to cheer him on, encourage him, and do your best to make sure he's having fun and enjoying his life regardless.
Be the rock that he knows won't be affected by any of the upsetting things that happen in his life. They're hard enough for him, he doesn't need to worry about them affecting others as well. They can always tell.
