Would it be strange if a trainer my son works with watches from the bleachers?


A trainer? Your son is in 8th grade.

Yes, that’s weird.

When the kid starts driving and you don't have to pick them up from practice anymore.

How TF is that weird?

They don’t teach the boys anything about footwork or release or anything...they just line them up and see who can do it. Sure, they say shite like, throw him a ball he can catch...that’s not much help.

I’m sure most boys who play QB, especially coming from another sport, have some help...dad or otherwise.

Because when they are at practice, the coach does the teaching.

When he is at lessons, the trainer can work with him.

Think about what you could've done with the money you spent for your son to go be the same jackals at LSU as every other kid.

No less dumb than a 12’ YOLO paddle board hanging on wall in the living room.

My boy will go to Ole Miss or State, unless he gets a scholarship otherwise. I hope the former, it’s further away.

I think you’re misdiagnosing the issue here

Ok, you still wasted a bunch of money for him to go to college, drink, skip class, and chase pussy.

Around 12 or so?


It’s pretty creepy just to have kids old enough to play sports when you’re 12.

We had parents watch football practice every week in highschool


Exactly, it wasn't always the same parents everyday but usually there were a few there. A few Dad's were retired and come watch from time to time. A few others worked offshore and did it to see their son some more.

Practice no. I took him to work out with college coaches last weekend and I watched, just because it was 100 miles from home and I didn’t get much info on stop/start times.

Well, football has much bigger numbers so the odds of a few parents are higher.

Not tons of kids out there for baseball, basketball, soccer. Stick out more as the helicopter parent
