PARENT’S 10 COMMANDMENTS
Parents please feel free at anytime to contact the Head Football Coach if you have any questions or concerns about your son and his involvement in the “Cougar” football program. Please help our program with the follow requests:
1.Be positive with your son. Let him know how proud you of him by simply being part of team – don’t put him down!
2.Encourage him to work hard and do his best. Don’t offer excuses if he is not playing. There is usually a reason for it and he should discuss it with his coach.
3.Be loyal to the program and to the coaches. The coach represents the boss- authority – parent – teacher- etc. If parents constantly put down the coach, how can we expect your son to play for him? Teach your child to be a DOER, not a complainer!
4.Insist that your son follows TEAM RULES! No matter which team your son is on, players must follow the rules! Athletics is very demanding and coaches are concerned with a player’s activities. In order to get the maximum physical and mental performance, he needs to follow team rules!
5.Insist of good GRADES! Monitor your son’s homework. It is a parent’s duty to see that homework gets done. Bring him to tutorials, if necessary. Tutors are available in all subjects.
6.Be Positive toward ALL other players in the program. Please do not carry bad feelings towards other players because of incidents that may have occurred between others. Every player has an important role on the team and all roles contribute to the success of the entire team.
7.Insist that your son maintains his self-control! Self-respect begins with self-control.
8.Refrain from comparing your son with previous athletes who have played sports, or with other players on his team. Encourage your son to be himself and develop his own god given talents. Do not put undue pressure on your son by thinking only in terms of scholarships. Scholarships are the results of unselfish play and team skills, as well as individual talent. A college coach prefers team players, rather than one focused on his self!
9.Have your son see their position coach if they have a problem. Almost all concerns can be handled at this step. Coaches are here because they love coaching and love working with your children.
10.Lastly, ENJOY YOUR SON’S INVOLVEMENT ON THE TEAM!!!
Time flies quickly as your son goes through high school. Make the most of each game –
If he has a good game … great!!
If he has a poor game … it’s still okay!!
Don’t be a worry-wart … that’s the coach’s job!!
Sometimes, not most of the time, parents tend to take things harder than the players do!!
LIGHTEN UP AND HAVE FUN!!
