Parent Coaching

Personalized support for navigating the challenges of sports parenting

One-on-one coaching offers a confidential space to talk through the real situations you’re facing as a sports parent. Together, we focus on practical strategies to support your athlete’s growth, confidence, and wellbeing—while strengthening your relationship along the way.

When You Want to Support Your Athlete Better

Sports parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions, expectations, and pressure run high. Individual coaching helps you gain clarity, confidence, and tools so you can show up for your athlete in ways that are supportive, calm, and intentional.

A Stronger Relationship Comes First

Performance improves when athletes feel supported, understood, and emotionally safe. 1:1 parent coaching helps you build trust, reduce tension, and create an environment where your athlete can pursue excellence without burnout.

Ways to work together

Flexible coaching options designed to meet you where you are

Parents come to coaching with different needs, timelines, and challenges. Whether you’re looking for a single conversation or more ongoing support, coaching packages are designed to provide clarity, practical tools, and meaningful progress.

Options may include:

  • A free 20 minute introductory conversation to explore your goals and challenges

  • Individual sessions focused on a specific situation or decision

  • Short-term coaching to work through a defined challenge

  • Ongoing support to create lasting changes in how you support your athlete

All coaching is personalized and collaborative, with a focus on strengthening communication, reducing pressure, and supporting both performance and wellbeing.

The best option will depend on your goals, your family’s needs, and where you are in your sports parenting journey.
