Athletics Department to Host Free Workshop for Parents

South Tampa parents and high school athletes are encouraged to attend a free parent workshop hosted by the Hillsborough County Public Schools Athletics Department.

The Second-Goal Parent: Developing Winners in Life Through Sports is from 6 p.m. to 7.15 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18, at Freedom High School media center, 17410 Commerce Park Blvd.

According to a Hillsborough County Public Schools press release, the workshop will examine how parents can help ensure their student-athletes’ experience will serve them beyond the playing field, develop a positive coach/parent relationship, and become more informed about academic eligibility, injuries, and getting cut from teams.

The workshop is sponsored by the Positive Coaching Alliance, a national nonprofit organization providing high school athletes a positive, character- building youth sports experience.

No need to pre-register for the event. For more information, contact Lanness Robinson at 813-273-7536.
