Choices- sleep in or weight room, track or video
games)
Parents
• Helmet plaques(Junior parents)
• Send calendar at beginning of May with summer
schedule
• *Encourage to get in the weight room(S & C PE,
EBPE, summer lifting) and participate in multiple
sports*
• Eligibility (Need to start with everyone eligible)
• Positive support, cheer our student-athletes
• Questions
• Handout
Conclusion
• Need a Commitment- must be willing
to work hard on a consistent basis.
• Players intend to take time off-relaxone day into two, into a week, a
month, or run/lift on their own-- it
does not happen-- Run track- lift as a
team- make a commitment
• 2A no cake walk- if we think this is the
answer to our problems- we are
mistaken- good teams
Conclusion (cont.)
• We ask our players to give us three
hours a week in the weight room.
There are 168 hours in a week so this
is a small commitment we are asking.
Becoming successful is not all that
difficult because there is so little
competition. The successful people
(TEAMS) will do those things the
unsuccessful people (TEAMS) won't do
because they are too lazy or don't
care. Hard work beats talent when
talent won't work hard.
Ten Commandments o f a Clark e Indian Parent
“As parents, encourage -do not compl ai n, moti vate -do not agitate ; be a team
pl aye r.”
1 Be posit iv e wit h your son . Let him know it is a great accomplishm ent t o simply
be part of t he program.
2 Do not offer excuses for why he is not playing. There is usu ally a reason for it.
Encourage him t o work hard and do his best .
3 Do not crit icize his coaches. The coach represent s; Aut horit y, t he T eacher, t he
Boss . If you const ant ly crit icize your son’s coaches, you cannot expect him t o
play for t hem. He is b eing taught t o be a complainer, not a doer. Discuss
problems wit h your son . If needed, have your son talk t o his position coach. If
you are st ill not sat isfied meet wit h t he head coach. Problems do not get solv ed
unless your son communi cates wit h his coaches. (Chain of Comm and)
4 Encourage your son t o follo w team and school rules. If we are going t o truly be
successful, your son must follo w t he CCHS rules.
5 Insist on your son working t o his abilit y academically. Ch eck the number of
hours you r son spends on homework. If you have comput er access us e JMC t o
check grades on a regul ar basis. It is t he dut y of t he parent t o see t hat their son is
working in t he classroom. No mat ter how good a player he may be, if he doesn’t
have good grades he won’t play. (Before school program 7:30 am D’s/F’s)
6 Do not dev elop envy t owar d ot her players. Do not live vicariously t hrough you r
son. Foot ball/B asket ball/Wrest ling/B aseball/T rack are games, let t hem play it . Do
not show animosit y or jealousy for any of your son ’s teammates because t hey
score more or carry t he ball more. Who cares who scores or get s t he publi cit y?
The impo rtant t hing is t hat every player on t he team does his best!
7 Do not be a know- it-all. The coaching staff works wit h your son and his
teammates every day. They know what each player can do and not do. As a fan,
you are encouraged to be “into” t he game, but please be posit ive t owar d ou r
players and coaches.
8 Insist your son’ s respect for t he game of foot ball, t he officials and our opponent s
players/coaches. Instill t he impo rtance of spo rt smanship . It takes years to develop
a “ class” program, but it can take seconds t o destroy it.
9 Fost er in your son a posit ive self-image. Do not compare and contrast your son
wit h former family m embers who played. Help him in any wa y possibl e t o feel
good about hims elf and his role on t he team.
10 Encourage your son t o play t he game of foot ball for t he “love of t he game.” If
we prepare and pl ay for t he right reasons t he rest will t ake care of itself (being
successful, awar ds, scholarships. ) Usually good t hings happen to teams and
individu als who happen to be uns elfish, hard working and commit ted.
Thanks for your suppo rt,
Coach Swee ney and t he Indian Foot ball staff
