Lol. Mine is a borderline amazing athlete but lacks the dedication to put in the extra effort. Oddly enough as an also an A honor student. He really doesn't apply himself there either. I finally told him. You better pick a path. Cause Mom and Dad can't pay for Baylor or UT without scholarships lol.
@Lace:
I know that's right. College costs are crazy these days and only getting worse with less grant and loan money available. Kids have to rise to the top to get that money and it's hard for a 12/13 year-old to understand how hard that process can get.
Anytime you have an athlete who also makes the grades - you are stacking the odds in your favor. Stay after him Dad, he'll thank you for that later. (Along with many other things I'm quite sure!)
