We had two of our better sophomores come into the coaches office right before practice yesterday and tell us that they were quitting the team. We were all shocked as these are good, tough football players.
I had to be out of town after practice for our league meeting, but when I got home the father of one of the boys called to say that his son was not allowed to quit. Dad told me to do whatever I needed in terms of extra conditioning and any other discipline, but he isn't going to allow his son to quit.
I got off the phone and checked my email. The mother of the other kid had left me a message in which she said that she, the father, and the son would like to meet with me as soon as possible. I am confident that they also are not going to let their son quit.
It is always easy to complain about parents, but I think we should highlight the positive things that parents do. We have outstanding parents here who really do support our program, and I am very fortunate to be coaching here.
