So, here's the thing. Grades are important. Not because they reflect your worth, but because they reflect your resilience. You can get a low passing grade, and still showcase your resilience and efforts. Outside of my football career, I am a School Counselor. I know that school work is not always easy for students, and I can appreciate that not all home situations and environments are conducive to providing a helpful and workable space to do homework.
However, I would argue that there is at least ONE helpful adult that you can relate to in your building, your life, that is absolutely willing, capable, and would be overjoyed to help you attempt to achieve your goals.
I am always honest with students. You may not use every class for your future. You may not care about the class, the teacher, or the students, but your grade report still matters for you to be able to play on the field. You don't need to get the highest grades, but you need to have passing grades. The effort you put into your education, will matter for your future career as a player.
Coaches will help you find assistance if you are willing to ask them. Your future is in your work ethic. This matters. Do your best, and know I am always here to help you.
