Dear Parents: Playing Time is Earned

1. Talk to your child

2. Avoid getting involved

3. Build your child up

Regardless of what happens, use those tough conversations and playing time issues as an opportunity to build your child up.

4. Ask the effort question

My little brother is good at basketball. As a senior, he could dunk and he can shoot it. But he was cut as a freshman and junior, and truthfully, it's probably because of his effort.

5. Schedule a meeting, just keep it positive!
