Sometimes a respected coach can be a valuable ally at times like this. If one's available for this purpose, go to him, discuss the issue with him, and have the coach reach out to your son to talk about his college playing prospects. That conversation would be an easy one to use to impress your son with the value of investing his effort in his college future,

It's amazing how much more effectively a coach (or other respected figure) can be than a parent when talking with a 16-year-old. Meanwhile, I promise that you'll become "smarter" and much more persuasive when he moves beyond his teens.

Good luck!
