Congratulations to the following student athletes who signed their National Letter of Intent Wednesday, November 11, during a ceremony in the Spartan Center. Coaches, family members and administration were present for the signing. John Bauerle signed with Mercer University for tennis, Margaret Boyette with Furman for tennis, and Patrick Jansen with Charleston Southern University for baseball.

The two choices below are optional purchases for our students and student-athletes; individual sports will no longer design and purchase sport-specific travel/warm-up attire to wear to and from competitions.

The following is a Sport Parenting Self-assessment Test taken from the book “The Fulfilling Ride” by Greg Dale. Please take a few minutes to honestly and objectively reflect on your role as a Sport Parent. Using a scale of 1 to 5, rate yourself on your effectiveness as a Sport Parent. Ask your child and spouse to rate you as well.

1 Strongly Disagree -- 2 Disagree -- 3 Undecided -- 4 Agree -- 5 Strongly Agree

_______I model good sportsmanship at all competitions in the way I interact with other parents, athletes, coaches, and officials.
_______I conduct myself in a manner such that my family and friends enjoy sitting next to me during competitions.
_______I do not put too much pressure on my child to win or perform exceptionally well.
_______I allow and encourage my child to talk to the coach if he or she has an issue with the coach before intervening myself.
_______I do not criticize my child’s coach in front of my child.
_______I do not give technical or strategic instructions to my child or other athletes during competition.
_______I plan to allow and encourage my child to participate in multiple sports, rather than specializing in one sport, until he or she has finished high school.
_______I provide total and unconditional love and support for my child regardless of how he or she performs.
_______I do not expect any type of monetary return (i.e., college scholarship, professional contract) on the time and money I spend on my child’s sport.
_______I conduct myself in a manner that makes my child proud to have me in attendance.
