The first thing I tell my young relative is that it’s not all about athleticism and skill on the field. You have to be smart and wise off the field in order to put yourself in the best position to succeed, no matter what you’re doing. I then tell them that it’s in their best interest to work to keep their grades sustainable, since teams will notice how much work that they put in academically. The most important thing I tell them is that they can make their parents proud by solving their grades issue. This would get their parents off their back which is something you don’t want if you’re trying to focus energy into becoming a better athlete. Lastly, I tell them that they should try to enjoy their classes. You won’t have these opportunities forever, so it’s best that you appreciate it now and try your hardest since maybe you’ll even enjoy it.
