[quote=Anonymous]At 15 they should have a pretty good idea of their strengths and weaknesses. Ask guiding questions about their performance, see what you get. Does it sound like they know where they are good, where they need to improve, what they need to do to work on those things? Are they doing those things? If not, why not? How can you help them achieve their goals? How do they plan to get into those colleges? Coaches should be able to help some in this area, but this is also on you and him. Ultimately they want to do it at least as much as you do, if not more. You might need to keep them on track, help them get organized etc. etc. that adults are better at doing than young teens, but ultimately you can't make them better, you can only facilitate the opportunities and make the path a bit easier. I'll leave this this though, "Prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child."[/quote]
