“D” unit that spurred DePaul to its fi rst-ever Passaic County Boys’ Soccer Tournament championship on October 22. At 6-5, the 170-pound goalkeeper has the physical characters of a modern-day college keep-er and during the course of the PCT, he demonstrated the athleticism necessary to compete at the next level – and his is only a junior.He was interviewed by ESPN RISE at the

Dallas Cup and was the TSF Academy Play-er of the Week earlier this year. He was the keeper for the Alliance Cup Champions in Reston, VA and the Adidas Potomac Memo-rial Day Champions as well as the Region 1 Colonial League runnerups.

Ashley FedeSenior

Mahwah High School

By Gene PetragliaAs a base for the Mahwah High School cheer team,

Ashley Fede is able to successfully juggle many activities into her senior year. Her days include school, homework, cheering for her high school, competitive cheering, and even at part time job at Sonny & Tony’s Pizzeria.

She has been cheering for four years both at the high school and competitive levels. That cheering experience, along with a solid gymnastics background, has yielded a strong tumbling repertoire that includes, handsprings, back tucks, and layouts.

Despite her individual skills, Ashley says her favorite part of cheering is stunting, and being a part of one of Mahwah’s four stunt groups.

For the balance of her senior year she hopes to mix in some fun, but is driven to cheer in college. She has been in touch with the Coach at her fi rst choice school, Saint John’s and will be working on a tumbling video to send to her in the next few weeks.

We are certain that next year we will see her leading on the Red Storm Basketball team through their Big East schedule.

Question: Why did you de-cide to start the Score for the Cure fundraiser?

Answer: When he [Christopher] died, I just felt like I had to do something. I was even writing his name on my cleats.

Answer: Yeah. I know a lot of the teammates parents’ got

Answer: It lasts until the end of the season. Anybody can pledge or donate throughout the season. At the end of the season, we’ll fi gure out my stats.

coach. “Every successful coach is organized.”

Almost every year under Di-Rupo he has continued the girls volleyball excellence with the school and it fi nally came to fruition with the 2007 Group 1 state title in three games over Midland Park. The Bucs came back to win the 2010 state championship in defeating Madison for the Group 1 title. It was DiRupo’s second state title and the program’s third.

The Bogota head coach said that what he likes most about Bogota is the ‘family atmo-sphere.’ “We have kids coming back all the time,” said DiRupo. “After winning the state title last year, I received hundreds of messages from girls who were on the team congratulating us on the championship.”

And added that he likes the Bogota feel compared to the larger school like at Roxbury. “It was defi nitely a different feel-ing,” said DiRupo going from a big school to one of the smaller schools in the state in Bogota. “When I was at Roxbury, I read off some names at graduation that I had never met. Bogota is more like a family. I like the small school setting and you know the kids.”

And his success recently was honored as he garnered his 300th victory as coach when the 2011 edition of the Bogota Bucs defeated Emerson, 25-8, 25-8, at home. For the Bogota head coach he won his 100th victory in 2003 when Bogota defeated Point Pleasant Beach and then captured his 200th victory with a win in 2007 over Dwight-Englewood.

The Bogota head coach said that one of the keys to his coach-ing is that he brings some of the mentality of coaching wrestling to sports like volleyball and

Bogota girl’s volleyballhead coach, Brad DiRupo.

By Edward KensikBOGOTA – Before Brad Di-

Rupo came to Bogota High School from Roxbury High School, he never had coached volleyball.

He had coached everything from football, wrestling, soft-ball and baseball at Roxbury High School, but he had no idea about volleyball.

Before the 2000 season the previous Bogota volleyball coach had fi rst retired and then decided to come back be-fore deciding to retire again.

In the end DiRupo would get the job and there was a lot of pressure for him to continue the success of the Lady Bucs program.

“I was a little apprehensive and wondering what am I get-ting into here,” said DiRupo. “I felt a little pressure, but I liked it.”

Despite a lack of volleyball coaching experience, he was able to keep the motor run-ning for the Bogota program as they continued to be one of the best Group 1 programs in the state.

DiRupo said that he took ad-vantage of some of the Bogota alums for help in the volleyball strategy while some of the rest of the coaching does not change from sport to sport.

“When you are a coach you have to be organized and thor-ough,” said DiRupo who is also the Bogota High School ath-letic director and head softball

softball. In wrestling he points that an individual wrestler has no one else but himself against his opponent and he added that each volleyball player to take an individual challenge to bet-ter themselves.

“There is no tougher sport to coach than wrestling,” said Di-Rupo. “I coach them a lot like wrestling. We challenge them and they have to be disciplined. The kids have responded.”

For right now the 300th win was nice, but DiRupo and Bo-gota have more to look forward to this season. The Lady Bucs are looking to defend the Group 1 state title, its fi rst since 2007. “Our goal every year is to win the state title,” said DiRupo.

Bogota was on its way to get the top seed in the Group 1 North state sectional this sea-son as they were 23-1 heading into the last half of October. The lone loss was to IHA.

And talking IHA, Bogota was seeded second to the top seeded IHA in the Bergen County Tournament. For a small school it was an accom-plishment to get a second seed in the tournament. For DiRupo it is probably a blessing and a

curse. “I’d rather sneak up from the back,” said DiRupo whose team made the county semi-fi nals last season before losing to Old Tappan. “We are the hunted this year, but some people are saying that they are Group 1 and they are not that good.”

So far so good in the county tournament, the second-seed-ed Lady Bucs defeated Para-mus Catholic in two-straight games, 25-10, 25-13, to get to the county quarterfi nals. Bogota was led by the duo of Carly O’Sullivan and Julie Topor with 10 kills each. Both O’Sullivan and Topor are two of the best outside hitters in the county and North Jersey.

For DiRupo he said that the team has not reached its peak, but he thought the 2011 team was better than the 2010 squad. “This team is better from top to bottom skill wise,” said DiRupo who added that the team still is working on its communication. “It’s a process and it’s getting a lot better.”

Bogota fi nished runnerup in the Bergen County championship game against IHA, 2-0.

Following regula-tion and a pair of scoreless 10-min-

ute overtime sessions, North-ern Highlands and Ramsey walked off the fi eld in Ramsey as co-champions of the 2011 Bergen County Field Hockey Tournament. The two-over-time conclusion is mandated by the by-laws of the Bergen County Women Coaches As-sociation.

Ramsey jumped out to a 1-0 advantage when junior forward Melanie Consiglio scored 2:42 into the game off a feed from Morgan Bishop. Casey Colan-gelo tied the score at 1-1 off an assist from Catherine Peebles with14 minutes remaining be-fore intermission. The Rams bounced back to take a 2-1 lead on Consiglio’s second tal-ly of the contest with 16:30 left in the second half with assists credited to Melissa Gwon and Meredith Hudson.

Colangelo scored the tying goal from fi ve yards out with 29 seconds in regulation to send the verdict to overtime.

Morgan Bishop posted a hat trick performance, scor-ing three times and distribut-ing a pair of assists to propel Ramsey to a 7-1 rout of West-wood in the semifi nals. Allie Cowie chipped in with two goals while Consiglio added a goal and assist with Shauna Keating completing the scor-ing parade. Rae Caliento, Gwon and Erin O’Connor con-tributed two assists apiece.

In the other bracket, goalten-der Paulina Marino stopped six

21 saves. Frosh Alexa Constantine

scored the game-winning goal with one tick remaining on the game clock as Westwood pulled out a 4-3 triumph over Hackensack.

Melanie Consiglio scored twice and dished off an assist to ignite Ramsey to a 7-0 rout over Northern Valley/Old Tap-pan and Lauren O’Keefe tallied a pair of goals to fuel Northern Highlands’ 4-1 success over Dwight-Englewood.

The verdict in the Northern Valley/Demarest against River Dell confrontation was not set-tled until the second round of the penalty stroke shootout for-mat. After the teams battled to a scoreless stalemate following regulation, two 10-minute OT sessions and a round of penalty strokes, seniors Stephanie Choi and Arielle Sorkin connected in the second round of penalty strokes to give the “W” to De-marest whose goaltender Vas-siliki Kanaris was credited with

With score knotted at nil enter-ing the second half, Ramapo scored three times in a nine-minute surge to advance to the championship round. Keeper Gilard stopped fi ve shots on goal to notch shutout “W” be-tween the posts as Ramapo improved to 15-1-0.

Following a scoreless fi rst half, Northern High-

lands got on the board in the 63rd minute. The Lady High-landers proceeded to outscore Ramapo 2 to 1 over the fi nal fi ve minutes to capture the championship banner in the Bergen County Girls Soccer Tournament on Saturday in Oakland with a 3-1 victory.

Junior defender Jackie Rey-neke initiated the fi rst score when she intercepted a pass and directed the ball to Emma Sullivan in the midfi eld who sent a pass to Madison Hol-leran who put the ball into the Ramapo goal. Frosh Carly Leipzig tallied the game-win-ning goal with fi ve minutes left in regulation.

Ferber’s Outstanding Season in Trenches with Lord Jeffs

Earns Invitation to Hansen Senior BowlBy Sara Jamshidi

Mahwah’s Kevin Ferber, a 6-2, 224-pound defensive lineman for Amherst College is been in-vited to participate in the 16th Annual Hansen Senior Bowl, a four-day, three-night event that is recognized by the national sports media industry and the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, IN as the offi -cial small college senior all-star game. NCAA-compliant and NAIA-approved, the game will be played January 16, 2012 in Virginia Beach.

A graduate of Don Bosco Prep, Ferber is a New England Small College Athletic Conference fi rst team all-star who has keyed the unbeaten Lord Jeffs to seven straight victories as he has reg-istered 46 tackles, 24 of which have been solo hits. He tops Amherst with 11.5 tackles for losses of 52 yards and is No. 1 in sacks with seven for 42 yards in losses. He has intercepted a pass and raced 62 yards into the end zone with a recovered fumble.

ACADEMICS & ATHLETICS



By Jerry StittThe Relationship between

Academics and AthleticsCoaches on all levels have long

recognized a direct relationship between academic responsibil-ity and athletic responsibility. In academics, just like athletics, three areas must be recognized and evaluated.

1. Identify one’s skills.What skills are brought to the

fi eld or to the classroom with which to compete? (Yes, the classroom is an arena of com-petition, especially when one reaches the collegiate level!) When skills are evaluated, it is important to be honest about both strengths and weaknesses.

Ability is different from skill. Ability is something that is in-nate, brought to the athletic fi eld or the academic table with very little prior work. Skill is something that has been im-proved over time by constant attention and/or hard work. For academics, skills that need to be identifi ed and evaluated are reading, writing, note taking, studying, and time manage-ment. All of these basic skills can be improved with a consis-tent effort.

2. Identify one’s habits.Habits have a huge impact

on one’s aptitude. What are the habits that relate to ath-letic progress? Consider your habits. Do you work hard or are you lazy? Are you capable of focusing on a task until it is completed or do you fade in the middle? Do you have too many distractions that keep you from working hard at your skills?

Habits for success in athletic and academic endeavors are similar. The habits for athletic success can and do carry over to academic pursuits. Unfor-tunately, this is not always the case. A young person that has as a goal to be the best player he/she can be, generally has some idea what steps need to be made to reach that goal. Such a person will pay close attention to his/her work ethic, strength training, quickness and agility

training, nutrition, and basic skills of the individual sport.

Many times the individual will pay for private physical and/or mental lessons from an expert. To reach similar high academic goals, the individual needs to take the same type of approach as for his/her sport.

Habits that are basic skills for academic success are things like never missing a class, tak-ing good notes and reviewing them often, doing homework on time, studying and read-ing, and preparing by staying ahead.

If it helps to hire a profes-sional “tutor” for athletic skills, why not hire a “professional” tutor for academic skills? With the “Information Age” upon us, it is possible to ac-cess academic “training” on the Internet. There are numer-ous quality web sites devoted to everything from study and learning skills to preparation for the SAT or ACT. Take ad-vantage of these sites!

Once habits have been hon-estly identifi ed, it is then pos-sible to change them for the better. It is important to work hard to rid oneself of habits that consistently get in the way of athletic or academic success.

3. Identify one’s attitudes.It is a certainty that one’s atti-

tude toward life is the most im-portant thing one’s mind can create. Just like no coach likes a player with a bad attitude , no matter how good a player he/she might be, no teacher likes a student with a bad at-titude, no matter how smart he/she may be. Attitudes that are the same in sport or in the classroom include being posi-tive, having a “can do” outlook on any subject (i.e. instead of “I hate math” it is “I can do math!”), confi dence, caring about and committing oneself to excellence.

One attitude that coaches and teachers like least is that attitude which causes the dis-

coaches is that

the dis-

ruptive behavior that keeps others from learning. “Self-effi cacy” is defi ned as the strength of belief one has to complete a certain task. The player or student who exhibits the self-effi cacy necessary to improve is the player or stu-dent a coach or teacher most appreciates. Players or stu-dents who are centered upon individual improvement and the improvement of the team are the players or students who are the leaders of their respective groups.

Bring a great attitude to the fi eld and to the classroom! The farther one advances in athletics the better the com-petition. The farther one ad-vances in academics the bet-ter the competition. Just like there is a “Pyramid ” for each individual sport, a “Pyramid” for academic pursuits also exists. Therefore, it is easy to understand why it is desirable to apply similar techniques for striving toward athletic or aca-demic success.

In athletics or academics, if one does not have great abil-ity, one can level the playing fi eld by improving skills. To improve skills, one must have a good aptitude to improve quickly, a good attitude to work hard and stay positive while working the steep side of the learning curve!

Working Toward Academic SuccessIn academics, just like in

athletics, how one feels about oneself can clearly determine success or failure. The noted Stanford psychologist, Albert Bandura has stated that self-effi cacy “is a situation-specifi c form of self confi dence.” This means that every individual will have certain tasks that he/she feels comfortable attempt-ing and certain tasks that he/she feels uncomfortable attempting. As self-effi cacy increases, individuals feel bet-ter about the task they are do-ing and will stay with that task longer.

Self-effi cacy is a very impor-tant ingredient in academic success. Numerous studies have shown that the following six criteria are critical to aca-demic success on any level.

Self-effi cacy can help one im-prove in all six areas!

1. The ability to understand what one reads. It is not nec-essary to be a great reader, just methodical and capable of comprehending.

2. The ability to clearly ex-press oneself in writing. In-cludes spelling, punctuation, grammar, and neatness.

3. The ability to clearly ex-press oneself orally. A minimum of “uh’s” and “you know’s”!

4. The ability to organize oneself and one’s work. Learn time management for greater effi ciency.

5. The ability to set clear, con-cise goals. Set goals that are measurable and attainable.

6. The ability to make a com-mitment to a great attitude.

A “can do” approach to any academic subject! As coaches and athletes, we realize that in everything we attempt there is a process and a product. The process is how one goes about accomplishing a task. The product is the fi nal outcome of the task.

A good example of the pro-cess-product relationship is when a hitter is only concerned about getting a hit. In this situ-ation, the outcome of an at bat is the goal. First, getting a hit is not a very good goal because getting a hit is not something a hitter can control. Once the ball leaves the bat, the defense is in control! So a better goal would be hitting the ball hard. Second, when only concerned about getting a hit the most important part of the process, seeing the ball, is forgotten.

When the process of complet-ing a task is most important, then one is centered upon the effort and learning necessary to improve. When this occurs, the individual recognizes that mistakes will happen, that they are not to be feared, and that mistakes are a necessary part of learning. When product, or outcome, is most important, then mistakes are not tolerated and the learning process is in-hibited.

Reading, writing, and commu-nication skills will improve with hard work and attention to de-tail. One is never too young to start being a process-oriented

Academics & Athletics

individual and working toward academic excellence!

Looking Beyond High SchoolThe fi rst day of the freshman

year in high school, a student-athlete can begin receiving questionnaires from colleges and universities. The student-athlete has either been iden-tifi ed as a “prospect” by the four year school, or has written to the school requesting to be considered as a “prospect.”

The vast majority of the questionnaires sent by the col-leges and universities ask for academic information. The academic information required is grade point average, PSAT/SAT/ACT score(s), core cur-

riculum, rank in class, and academic interest.

Every college freshman stu-dent-athlete must be “certi-fi ed” by the NCAA Initial Eli-gibility Clearinghouse. If the academic qualifi cations do not meet the NCAA minimum requirements of grade point average, SAT/ACT score, and core curriculum, the student/athlete will not be certifi ed eli-gible for competition. There-fore, if competing in a sport in college is a goal, then to make that goal realistic, the student-athlete must dedicate himself/herself to doing well in school.

PSYCHOLOGY & SPORT



By Raymond J. Petras, B.E., M.A., Ph.D., C.P.M. (AAPM)

What is the Psychology of Sports?

Simply put, psychology is the study of the mind and its behavior in relation to a particular fi eld of knowledge or activity of an individual or group. Sport Psychology is the study and application of the characteristics of the mind as it relates to sports.

How important is the mental aspect of sport?

Extremely important. Most coaches and athletes at the elite/professional levels feel that mental preparation is the difference between winning and losing.

Which group showed the greatest improvement?

In the U.S., sport psychol-ogy has been used to correct problems. In the former Soviet Union, Sport Psychology con-centrated on creating methods to maximize performance. In one experiment, four matched groups of world class Soviet

athletes diligently trained be-fore the 1980 Winter Games at Lake Placid, as follows: Group I: 100% Physical Training Group II: 75% Physical Training, 25% Mental Group III: 50% Physical Training, 50% Mental Group IV: 25% Physical Training, 75% Mental

Which group showed the greatest improvement? Read to the end of the ar-ticle.

Mental Training/Sport Psy-chology has been proven to be a valuable tool and is becoming a necessity for many coaches and athletes looking for “THE EDGE.”

“I always treated every race as if it were the Olympics, so when I raced in the Games I was mentally ready.”

Bonnie Blair – 5 Olympic Gold Medals Speedskating

THE EDGE With more research and ex-

perience behind them, serious athletes are speaking out on

the benefi ts of mental training. More and more athletes are looking for qualifi ed mental trainers to teach them practical techniques to handle the stress-es of competition and enhance performance.

Organizations such as the As-sociation for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AAASP) are working hard to develop guidelines for mental trainers and to disseminate up-to-date information in the fi eld by holding comprehensive seminars. Mental training must be included along with physi-cal training to meet today’s demand for excellence. Those that fail to incorporate mental training into their programs may fi nd themselves unable to catch up.

“The real purposes of games

is to teach us things that will be valuable for the rest of our lives.”

Fred Shoemaker Professional Golf Instructor

“I always believed that I had all the answers for my athletes, but suddenly I found I was help-less in dealing with an athlete’s

problem. I never really be-lieved in sport psychologists. That has changed.”

Joe Sweeney – Coach of Women’s Cross

Country Running University of St. Thomas, MN

TYPICAL SPORTS PERFORMANCE SESSIONSThe sessions are generally

conducted in a comfortable offi ce setting, but can be held on site. The session usually includes a brief interview, in-struction and practice, post session interview and discus-sion. Offi ce sessions may be followed by actual physical per-formance on the fi eld. These techniques should be tailored to meet your needs and may vary from individual to indi-vidual. Generally, the sessions last 20 to 50 minutes but may last up to a few hours.

Mental training is most effec-tive in the context of a prede-termined series of sessions. These sessions may be daily, weekly or monthly, depending on personal needs and objec-tives. Although many athletes report signifi cant progress to-ward their goal after only a few sessions, one must understand that it takes time to change.

“The feeling is what you are after, rather than just picturing it. It was through actually feel-ing it in my mind that I started to make all my jumps consis-tent.”

Brian Orser – Olympic Silver Medalist

Figure Skater

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I benefi t by us-ing mental training tech-niques?

You can benefi t in many ways. Better preparation, in-creased confi dence, and more focused performance. One Olympic caliber swimmer, who had plateaued for three years, set three personal bests in one meet, after just two sessions of mental training.

Will messing with my mind hurt my perfor-mance?

No! You unconsciously use mental techniques all the time. Ever hear of psyching yourself up? Getting up for the game? Using mental training techniques in a structured and consistent way has been prov-en to enhance performance not hurt it.

Are these techniques proven, or will I be a guin-ea pig for someone?

Mental training is merely taking what you are already doing and structuring it. Most techniques are well known and safe. Although more research is needed, there is little that one needs to fear when work-ing with a trained consultant.

Can these techniques be used to help injured ath-letes?

Yes! An exciting new area of sport psychology has to do with the psychological re-duction of pain due to injury. Psychological profi les of in-jury-prone athletes are emerg-ing along with psychological methods to reduce pain and speed healing.

In my previous article, I dis-cussed the important, and often overlooked, concept of structural balance, taught to me by world-renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin. The hu-man body is a beautiful and in-tricate machine. This machine, like all machines, requires a state of equilibrium or balance to function optimally and resist breakdown. This article is an overview of the importance of structural balance in the shoul-der joint for optimal health and performance.

The shoulder is the most mo-bile joint in the human body. Unfortunately, being the most mobile joint has its downfalls, which are lack of stability and strength. Entire books have been written about shoulder injuries. Trying to cover all shoulder problems is beyond the scope of a single article. So I feel it is best to begin with the rotator cuff. In my 18 years ex-perience working as a strength and conditioning coach and soft tissue specialist, I have ob-served this group of muscles to be the most commonly injured area.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles: the supraspina-tus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. These four muscles are collectively re-ferred to as the S.I.T.S. muscles and are shown in the diagram.

The function of these muscles is to stabilize the head of the humerus, or upper arm bone, in the glenohumeral, or shoul-der joint. They also elevate the shoulder as well as rotate and decelerate the arm. All of these muscles originate on the scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on the humerus or upper arm bone.

Now that the anatomy lesson is over, let’s check out the three most common reasons for rota-tor cuff injuries:

and injury.3.) The third problem, which

may be caused by any of the aforementioned problems, is fl exibility imbalances. Muscle infl exibility, or tightness in the larger more powerful internal ro-tators, causes poor mobility, im-pingement and excessive strain on the lengthened, weaker exter-nal rotators.

So now what? Fortunately, there is a way to help mitigate or prevent rotator cuff injuries. By incorporating proper rotator cuff exercises and stretches through-out the off-season to correct disproportionate strength and fl exibility imbalances and incor-porating in-season maintenance training programs, many injuries can be prevented and sports per-formance can be increased.

There are many exercises to help prevent and correct these problems. To start you on the right track, please visit my new blog page www.kstrength.

1.) A disproportionate strength ratio between the stronger and larger internal rotators and the smaller weaker external rotators will cause strain and tissue dam-age over time.

Far too many people spend the majority of their workouts focus-ing on the large internal rotators of the shoulder, with exercises such as presses, dips, pull-downs and chin-up variations, and focus little or no time training the exter-nal rotators. Over time, the larger muscles become too strong for the smaller rotator cuff muscles to adequately do their job.

The other problem with hav-ing an offset strength ratio is that the body will sense this and to protect itself from injury will “shut down” the larger muscles, causing a lack of progress in strength gains, as well as poor throwing velocities and sports performance.

2.) Repetitive stresses due to overuse in a particular sport or movement, such as those that involve throwing, swinging mo-tions, and contact, will, over time, lead to tissue break down

and reps, as well as full demon-strations in the video. If you are already suffering from shoulder pain or injuries, I recommend fi nding a qualifi ed soft tissue specialist or massage thera-pist that utilizes Active Release Techniques and/ or Graston Technique to help repair the damaged tissue.

In the northern part of the country, baseball and softball fall seasons are coming to an end, and the off-season is about to begin. Now is the time to start addressing and correcting many of the muscle imbalanc-es and wear and tear created throughout the long spring, summer and fall seasons. Start training properly now and have a more productive and injury free season next year!

Taking Action at Report-Card TimeRIDGEWOOD, (Grassroots

Newswire) October 18, 2011 -- Your child’s fi rst report card of the year can set the tone for the rest of the school year. If he or she brings one home that causes concern, Heather Ottagali of the Ridgewood Huntington Learning Center says the best thing to do is act early.

“If your child’s report card is a big surprise, the fi rst thing you should do is arrange a meeting with his or her teacher,” says Ot-tagali. “He or she is your best resource to helping your child and will offer you strategies and ideas to help your child over-come problem areas.”

To make the most out of a meeting with your child’s teach-er, Ottagali suggests jotting down discussion topics before-hand. Here are several questions to ask:

What are the best ways for me to help at home? If your child’s report card mentions his or her lack of participation in class or unwillingness to collaborate with classmates, ask how you can work with your child on these things. If he or she receives a low grade, get a sense of what is contributing to the problem and what role you should take in helping your child do better.

What should I expect of my child at home? Certainly ev-ery student is different, but the teacher should be able to offer you a general idea of what your student should do at home. How much time should he or she spend on homework each night? How much assistance should you be providing?

Can you give me examples? The teacher reports that your child needs to follow directions better. Ask the teacher for spe-cifi c instances of your child not doing so, so you can understand the situation. If your child re-ceived a poor grade in language, request to see samples of his or her class work and homework to see for yourself what he or she is doing wrong -- or failing to do -- as well as what he or she is do-

HOUSTON, TX, October 8th, 2011 — New Jersey’s own Mike Massenzio was pitted against the last WEC (World Extreme Cagefi ghting) Light Heavy-weight World Champion, Steve Cantwell. The bout was touted as “Cantwell’s comeback fi ght” and Massenzio was to be Cantwell’s “Stepping Stone” back to promi-nence. Apparently Massenzio hadn’t read the script, he didn’t cooperate. After the fi rst round where Cantwell had a slight edge fi ghting a very technical battle and getting the better of Massen-zio on 2 out of 3 judges cards, Massenzio roared back. He out-struck Cantwell by almost 30% by turning the fi ght from a tech-nical battle into a “Paterson New

Huntington prides itself on its

ing well.Are there any signs that my

child has any learning issues? There may be many factors contributing to your child’s poor school performance, but if your child is struggling with basic skills or reading, or having dif-fi culty concentrating or retaining information, the teacher may sug-gest supplemental education. In a busy classroom with many other students, it can be diffi cult for a teacher to give struggling stu-dents the one-on-one attention that they need. A diagnostic tu-toring program may help correct any issues that are getting in the way of your child’s learning.

What should be my next steps and yours? Make a plan together to help your child and lay out how the two of you will keep each other apprised of your child’s progress. Discuss the best way to commu-nicate about any homework or other issues. Talk to the teacher about measuring improvement in between now and the next report card.

Ottagali also reminds parents that any interaction with your child’s teacher should be a two-way conversation, as he or she may have questions for you as well.

“Just as you want to learn what your child’s teacher thinks about your child’s struggles, he or she could benefi t greatly from your parental insight and support,” says Ottagali. “Share informa-tion with your child’s teacher that may help him or her understand your child better. Be sure to stay in contact throughout the school year. By working together, you can help your child improve his or her grades and learn to enjoy school and learning.”

After shattering Cantwell’s nose in the second round, Mas-senzio’s left hand kept fi nding its home on Cantwell’s head. Continually backing Cantwell up and pressuring him against the cage, Massenzio dominated the last two rounds on every judge’s card, giving him a unan-imous decision in his comeback fi ght.
