In the past few months we've lost our son or the person he use to be. He started at short and pitching his freshman year for his high school team. We've done travel ball for three years. Since about March he has changed. His grades fell, he's never been a straight A student but now he is failing. He's been in summer school to make up the failing grades and we found out last week that he has not been going and will not finish the class in time for it to be transfered back to the high school before school starts. He didn't want to play summer ball for the high school I quilted him into playin that the coach was counting on him. We have grounded him from his truck and phone. He doesn't seem to care. How can I get through to him that he is throwing his life away. He would have been a prospect for a D1 school but now I'll be happy if he just gets through high school. Coach and conselors at school say he can still go to a junior college or will probaly be drafted out of high school but if his attitude doesn't change he want be playing his junior and senior years. Anybody got any advise what to do to get him motivated.
