The Spook Who Sat by the Coach's Door

The Spook Who Sat by the Coach’s Door

The playbook every parent of a student-athlete needs — not just to win games, but to win in school, life, and the system that too often works against our kids.

Written by a former Division I football player and parent of multiple student-athletes, this book pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes — in locker rooms, eligibility offices, school meetings, and counselor inboxes that never seem to reply.

Too many student-athletes are told to “just focus on the sport” — while academic support, eligibility planning, and mental health fall through the cracks.

This book helps parents:

- Navigate IEPs, 504 Plans, and tutoring options
- Address coach favoritism and academic neglect
- Advocate when counselors drop the ball
- Prepare for eligibility, NIL realities, and life after sports

If you’ve ever felt like no one is telling you the truth — this is the truth.

Step inside.
Learn the system.
Protect your child’s future.
