Advice for Parents 1)Make sure your son gets off to a good academic start – Skyward, Coaching Staff Support. 2)Encourage your son to be a multi sport athlete as long as possible. 3)Encourage your son to “hang in there” with football – understand the process – “A”, “B”, JV Team. 4)Prepare your son for the path, not the path for your son. 5)Love your son, don’t fall in love with him. 6)Release your son to athletics, let us coach them
