Problem
You are the head coach. You have a student-athlete who is constantly working against your system. He is late to class, practice and study hall. Teachers have emailed he is disruptive in class at times, but is passing at this point. He seems to be distracted in practice, has trouble focusing and listening. Has an answer all the time or a reason why he made a mistake. He is loud and draws attention to himself regularly and in the cafeteria he is disrespectful to the staff. One day, he missed half of practice. He does not have a good excuse and refuses to run. The season starts in one week...
a) What are your options?
b) What is your decision timeline?
c) What do you do first, second, third, etc.?
