His AAU organization said they would help us find a prep school. I told my son that the organization doesn’t necessarily have his best interests at heart like his mom and I do. They will do what is best for them. Even if they find you a school, and even if it’s free, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be the right/best place or a good education. We’re hiring you because we’re trusting you to do what’s best for us.
This from a dad whose son has a realistic chance to be a scholarship athlete and is part of the most powerful AAU program in the region.
