Make Athletics Great Again (MAGA)

Make Athletics Great Again is a practical guide for parents of student-athletes who want more than wins on the field — they want stability, eligibility, and long-term success in school, sports, and life.

Too many athletes are told to “just focus on the game,” while academics, eligibility rules, and mental health are left unmanaged until it’s too late. This book pulls parents into the real conversation — the one happening behind the scenes with coaches, counselors, and eligibility offices.

Written by a former Division I athlete, educator, and parent, MAGA helps families understand how athletics actually intersect with academics and systems that control opportunity.

Inside, parents will learn how to:

- Protect academic eligibility before it becomes a crisis

- Navigate tutoring, accommodations, and academic supports for athletes

- Communicate effectively with teachers, counselors, and administrators

- Advocate with confidence in meetings and emails

- Recognize early warning signs before problems escalate

One of the most valuable sections of the book includes a clear, usable list of school-based supports and accommodations, including:

- Academic and behavioral accommodations

- Classroom and testing supports

- Organizational and executive functioning strategies

- Intervention options schools often don’t explain unless asked

This isn’t theory.
It’s a menu of real accommodations parents can reference, request, and use immediately.

Make Athletics Great Again is not about politics.
It’s about preparation, responsibility, and protecting a child’s future — values that unite families across backgrounds.

This is not about politics.
It’s about restoring discipline, accountability, and opportunity — so athletics become a bridge to success, not a dead end.

School. Sports. Life.
That’s the standard. This book helps families live it.
