[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want your kid to quit before he even tries?[/quote] Can you read? “told DS to attend college and stick to biomedical engineering major and if things get too hard with both academic and athletic, just quit the team and focus on academics. The university is not going to expel him, can they?”[/quote] Try this “ you can do both, I know you are smart enough, a hard worker and have good time management skills. Don’t listen to teammates, most can’t do engineering and not do a sport. It’s gonna be hard but you can do it.”[/quote] I like OPs wording better b/c if the kid struggles you've set yourself up as someone who might not be in their corner, and dogging their peers shouldn't be part of a motivational strategy. [/quote] It’s not the kids gonna quit the minute he gets a C or. 2.2 GPA. Quitting is already in his head. Staying on the team means preferential scheduling, a set peer/support group, free counseling, free tutoring, a healthy outlet. [/quote]
