Hillsborough County Public Schools athletics department will host a free parent workshop entitled “The Second-Goal Parent: Developing Winners in Life Through Sports,” Jan. 18 at 6 p.m. in the Freedom High School (17410 Commerce Park Blvd.) media center.

The hour-long interactive workshop examines 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. Advanced registration is not required. For additional information, contact Lanness Robinson at (813) 273-7536.
