Attitude / Coach-ability • What affect does your son’s attitude have on his performance? • Does your son exhibit a positive or negative attitude? • How does your son take positive/negative criticism? *Scores will not always mean your son will make the team.
Other Items • 1. Make sure your son has a Physical into Mr. Ewy on or before 10/26/09. • 2. Make sure you’re out running and working on your skills. Don’t come to try-outs completely out of shape, and not having picked up a basketball.
Thank You • Please remember it is just as tough on the coaching staff as it is on the student-athlete when cuts are made. Please wait until the following school day to contact us, if you have a question concerning why you did not make the team. My plan time is 7:50-8:30 Mon., Wed., and Thurs., or 2:05-2:50 on Tues./Fri.
