Real fathers please help youngin out

[PsiBorg]

My son is 16 and he's being recruited right now. He plays Basketball. I'm going to give you some real advice for your son, it will apply in his later years.

1) Always be honest with your son. When he plays poorly, say so. Then help him fix it. When he plays well, say so as well.

2)Let him know that his friends/acquaintances will tell him what he wants to hear. But you will always tell him what he needs to hear.

3) Let him know that your job as a Dad isn't just to buy him things. Your job is to make sure that he can make a good decision when you are not around. Poor decisions can come with dire consequences. Think before you act...

4) Support your son, don't push/drive him. If he really wants it... you'll know, because he'll push himself.

Don't let anyone come between you and your son... not even his mother. Raise him to a Man... not a boy!

Teach him that he can own a professional basketball team instead of playing for one.

Don't be his friend, be his father. Trust me!

Really ninja? In sports. Wish I had a son. Three beautiful lil ladies. My 9 yr old wants to hoop because of me but she has the highest gpa and test scores in her grade every year so I'm pushing academics since I was a jock. I expect my other girls to follow suit as well. She is 8 out of 10 though from inside 10 feet. 7 yr old daughter is like fuck a ball!

For real dont push him or he will start to hate it. My daughter has been the tallest girl in her since Preschool and she can ball. I just dont wanna teach because I tend to push harder than whats needed it.

Good Advice...I love when BGOL members who come out of lurk mode, to give some very good guidance to these young cats about being a responsible dad.I hope it all works out for your son during the recruiting process.

Very good advice and true.

I went through that process with my son and nephew.

I would add not to pay attention to the various ranking site because they are more about politics then they are are about ability.

While you son is being recruited make sure he doesn't get infatuated with the schools name and to pick a school that offers a good fit for him and the opportunity to play. Many kids go for the biggest name and are transferring within a year.

Its better to be a big fish in a small pond than to be a small fish in a big pond.

In this day of internet and cable if you can play everybody will know.

Good luck with you son and make sure he stays focused.

you a very extra extreme individual.


but you call them drills when he could be teaching him dribbling like its a game....His little man will love playing with his dad whatever they doing.

guess you never played with your nephews having them try to steal the ball from you.

you never played catch and did bounce passes since they easier to catch ?

even on your plastic rim you could be teaching them to shoot instead of dunking..

why am i surprised that you over the top with your responses, you don't have a son to teach
