LOL! I've got a coaching shirt I wear to practice and to our baseball games that has on the back "Feelings don't win baseball games". I get some interesting looks and comments that's for sure.
In theory, he would have to drop all classes and then return next semester and start over... if he wanted to. That's a huge hole to come out, but he will not be suiting up for Tide this year.
Please keep wearing that shirt. We have raised an entire generation of people who think that their every little whim must be coddled and addressed. Not saying that someone's emotional health isn't important: I believe this 18 year old guy is suffering some level of depression, and that needs to be addressed. But simply not feeling included or not feeling like you are the most important person ALL THE TIME, is not depression. That's someone being a pampered baby.
This is the important part. He'll never get the football part of his life back on track until this other stuff is treated.
Truth be told as an outsider CNS just might not give a hoot what an outsider thinks.
agreed - they at least made sure the part about Saban trying to setup counselling and about Alfano's dad saying UA would be the best place for him to stay. Doesn't put anyone in a bad light. it's just unfortunately Alfano has retreated the way he has. So much help could be there for him. I hope he's able to get it together.
Sounds like Saban has went all out to help........ can’t do anything more for him than that
Unfortunately there are some people that once they begin down a path it is like talking to a wall. No matter how hard you try to help them, you can't save them. They have to make the decision to save themselves. It is only when they reach the point of seeing they need that they will begin to accept the support they desperately need.
