Coaches told him today he is starting for Freshman team, starting for JV team, and dressing out as 2nd team for Varsity

3 games a week. *sigh*... my immediate thought is how does a kid handle this load and academics?
Did you ever sit down and set priorities.
Right now your ego is really big bragging about how athletic your kid is.
One collision or car accident can end his athletic career, then where is he academically?
Why are you sending your kid to school?

Didn't read whole thread but here goes:
-You don't manage his grades you use this as a teaching moment to help him manage himself.
-Help him set priorities, school first then athletics.(Or whatever your priorities are)
-He needs to learn what to say "NO" to in life. This is the key to success because you can't say "yes" to everything.
-Help him choose the best over the good. The eternal over the temporary.
-You are helping create a "vision" for his life, a long range picture of what he wants his life to look like some day.
-Then love, support and encourage him and be his "coach" as he goes through hi school and beyond allowing him more freedom to make decisions along with bearing the consequences of those decisions.
-It's his life, it will be what he decides it will be.
