Advice For Parents
1) Make sure your son gets off to a good academic start –
Skyward, Coaching Staff Support.
2) Encourage your son to be a multi sport athlete as long
as possible.
3) Encourage your son to “hang in there” with football –
understand the process – “A”, “B”, JV Team.
4) Prepare your son for the path, not the path for your
son.
5) Love your son, don’t fall in love with him.
6) Release your son to athletics, let us coach them

Learn life lessons
Form meaningful relationships
Putting action into words
Learn the importance of serving others
Teach boys what it means to be a real man
There is much more to life than football
Each coach has word of the week
Staff member of the week
The staff member is an honorary captain
BMFO
If you could speak to every boy in the world-let’s just pretend you
could wipe out anything they’ve already seen or heard from their
fathers or anybody else-how would you explain your own definition
of what it means to be a man?”
• It’s about relationships and a cause,” Joe said. “Simple as that.
What’s a man created to do? He’s created to be a son, a father, a
husband, a brother, and so on. So I’m going to measure my
masculinity- and it’s really about my humanity- based on how
successful I am as a husband. If I blow it there, or if I blow it as a
dad, nothing else really matters. All the power and prestige and
possessions in the world will never make up for failed relationships.

“
• -From the book “Season of Life” which will be read to all players
who come through the White Bear Lake football program
