"When Michael Jordan did not make his Varsity basketball team, his Mother did NOT: 1) complain to the school, 2) call the Coach, 3) demand a meeting with the AD, 4) transfer schools, 5) suggest MJ "take a year off" from the JV basketball team.
She simply told Michael, 'get in the gym and work harder'.
Now he's the greatest basketball player of all time. 🐐
Imagine what kids, and the world, would become if more parents were like Deloris Jordan, rather than making excuses and complaining under the guise of 'just being their kid's advocate."
Be an advocate for your athlete but let them also be their own advocate with their work. When things aren't going your way... first look for what you can do to change it.
