Convincing athlete to commit to robotics?

I think one of the best arguments you could make to him would be regarding his future as a whole. You said the basketball team isn't very good, so you could probably say that robotics will be better towards his career as a whole. You could even get him to try and introduce his father and girlfriend to FRC as well.

Don't convince him. Let him do what he wants. Tell him to do what he likes more. You don't want him regretting his path later.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Sam is right.

Let students do what they want.

This. Our drive team includes members who quit Football and Cross-Country to get more involved in robotics. Some members have left for Tennis. It's up to the individual, not either team.
