Football 101: A Parent’s Guide to Football Life is the ultimate playbook for moms and dads raising young athletes. Written by former NFL wide receiver D’Juan Woods, this guide takes you beyond the X’s and O’s to reveal what really shapes a child’s football journey, and how parents can make the biggest difference.
From youth leagues to college recruiting, this book gives you a clear, honest roadmap for every stage:
-
How to support your child without adding pressure
-
The link between academics and football IQ
-
Handling injuries, setbacks, and position changes with confidence
-
What college coaches truly look for (beyond talent)
-
Managing the time, money, and emotions football demands from families
-
Preparing your child for life beyond the game
Whether your child dreams of Friday night lights, Saturdays on campus, or even Sundays in the pros, your role as a parent will shape their journey more than any coach or playbook.
This isn’t about pushing your child into football dreams. It’s about giving you the tools to guide, support, and prepare them for the challenges and growth the sport brings.
📘 Football 101 is more than a sports guide — it’s a parent’s blueprint for raising confident, resilient, and prepared young athletes.
