Training your son with athletic people will only push. Make it fun and competitive with form and long term health in mind. Number one I commend you on being interested in your sons future. People will say many things about how you push your kid too hard or you’re living through him. DO NOT pay attention to those people. Maybe you do and are those things, maybe not. Bottom line is none of us is the perfect parent. The only thing you can do is dream with your child the biggest dream possible and maybe he achieves it and maybe he doesn’t. After coaching for several years I can say without a doubt you child is lucky because many kids do not have the next hot meal more less a father to care enough live his dream with him: my oldest son was one of the best 8th graders in the state and he did not grow much from then on. I would put his work ethic against anyone, just didn’t have the size. D1 was his goal and that just wasn’t in the cards for him. He is now a biology major at Georgetown ky playing football. He wants to a physical therapist to athletes when he is done. Point being is your interst in your child will show beyond the field in all aspects and I am 💯 a fan of any dad taking this approach and interest in their child. We all make mistakes and you will be criticized but at the end of the day you got your sons back! That’s what dads do and to hell with anyone who says otherwise. You will make mistakes as all parents do but you and I and many others can live with that because our kids benefit because we do care enough to be involved. Anything I can do to help do not hesitate and if your up this way bring your son and he can train with my son who’s going to be a sophomore at SW. my oldest goes back to college the 14th and will train with me til then. I love to talk training and share the do’s and don’t of what I’ve learned.
