My son is a freshman at a small d2 school. He got about 1/3 baseball & 1/3 academic sholarships. This is a pretty pricy private school and he has had to borrow the last 1/3 of the tuition. He is scheduled to meet with his coach at the end of the year to discuss how the year went. Son called last night with an interesting question. How does he, (or does he at all) bring up the topic of more baseball money. He has had a fantastic year so far. He won the starting catcher job, is 2nd highest for batting, slugging and obp. He also leads the team in stolen bases. His defense is very strong too. He thinks that he has proven his value. He was wondering if he could ask for more money so he could borrow less. Or does he wait for the coach to bring it up. What if he doesn't? I would think that if you don't ask, the coach would think the financial situation is acceptable and perhaps not offer any more. He is a quiet kid who doesn't like to make waves. He is not good at talking himself up to people. It is hard to get him even to admit to us that he is good (but very good at pointing out mistakes) I had no idea what to tell him. I figured someone here would know the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
