OK I will give all the details I can to make a educated decision on this matter because it is important. Same of the information might not make a bit of difference, but I want to give all of it to you because I could have a problem.
OK Lats start with I am a frosh DC and I help with the varsity any way I can. Last year I was a middle school asst(well 2 seasons ago).
Last year at the middle school I had two brothers on the team. Both good athletes, both good kids. This past season I had both of them at the frosh level.
Player A was a better athlete and was competitive.
well, Off season workouts started and the brothers are not there the first day(a lot of kids where not there, because of other sports) on the second day I see the brother of player A in the halls and say hey what sport are you doing. He said wrestling and said "good luck, what is your brother doing". he said "nothing." I said "why the hell isnt he hear then" he told me "Coach I told him, but I dont know why he isent hear" one of my players over heard the conversation and said "Coach, are you talking about "Player A", he has been different lately, he quit track and before he quit he would just give up all the time, he is kind of strange now"
I told them I would like to talk to him the next time we have workouts even if he is not staying to work out.
I am worried about this kid as it is not like him to act differnt or give up or quit.
I dont know his whole story, but when I say they are brothers they are actually not. There "mom" had adopted them two and two other boys. His older brother was a stud last year at this school.
Like I said I dont know how or wghy they where put up for adoption, but I hear it was a bad situation.
So any advice on what to say, ask, anything. I think this kid need help from someone. I am not a teacher so I am not in the building. Should I bring other coaches in on the conversation. BTW I am the coach he knows the most because I coached him two years and we have a good relationship. I remeber one time he was goofing off after practice and I tried to punish him, kind of joking around and he took off running from me. It was funny I could not help but to laugh because he knew I could not run and he is FAST, swearving in and out of people.
I just want to help this kid if there is a problem.
BTW he paid for it the next day and we still laugh about it.
