Eh, im more interested in my kids doing something they have a passion for than being cubicle drones for the big machine. We'll get a C up but im not losing my shite over it. My two oldest daughters did fine with this approach.

Like the arts? You sound like a hippie.

Push him hard. Beat him if need be. If he resents you, football is worth it. Watch the movie Whiplash, be like that teacher.

How hard, if at all, do you push him to develop his skills to improve his college recruiting position?
I'd keep taking him to camps and whatnot
if he is still nationally ranked come Jr/Sr season, then get him in some personal workouts

I don't disagree. The term has been bastardized.

Having a son that plays D1 golf, I can tell you, do not push, if they are good enough they'll get there. And once they do, the pressure is unbelievable. Be careful what you wish for.

Yeah lots of wannabes. My dad hung out with a lot of free spirits in the 60s and 70s

A family member was on a full ride for football at LSU. Never played a live down. Knee problems after his red shirt year (acl). Back and knee problems to the point,it is debilitating. The free tuition is a great deal, but his aches and pains are forever. I'am not talking about a super star, he was a average player on the team. Not worth it in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, we had a great time when he was on the team and working his way up. Such is life,

Lots of wannabes and LOTS of people on the other side applying it to anyone left of center.

That's not even a real sport though. Totally different from football which is hard physically.

So are academics. Smart kids will succeed, its the ones that lack motivation you have to work with. Even then they may gravitate more towards the arts
I disagree with this. My parents barely graduated high school and I excelled academically. But growing up in a small town that didn't matter. I couldn't hit a high school curve ball so I was a loser.

I think surrounding your child around other kids who are high in character and have a good work ethic is the recipe for athletic success. Of course this means having your kid on a team with parents of high character. You can't always be there to mentor your kid. Other parents/coaches can. Once a kid hits the age of 12, they will decide on their own what type of sports they want to focus on. But emphasizing hitting the books and playing sports with class is he most important thing, IMO, and will translate into long term athletic success down the road.

Really? There are a lot of people that would disagree. It may not be physical but it's a sport.

That's because high school kids are stupid, especially in small towns. You wanna be Al Bundy or Mark Cuban?

Unless your son looks like the milkman, he's probably too stupid for college.
