To achieve this mission, we:
Help coaches address the complex dynamics of coach-athlete-parent relationships in ways that contribute to positive athlete experiences and team cohesion.
Help parents navigate the challenges of raising a high-performing athlete by offering strategies to support their athlete’s performance and autonomy, while strengthening the parent-athlete relationship.

Parents…
Do you ever wonder what to say when your athlete is struggling?
Do you feel lost when your athlete faces failure and setbacks?
Do you want to know what coaches at the elite level expect from you and your athlete?
If you answered yes, check out our book, Playing the Long Game, for targeted strategies to help you support your athlete.
“As a coach, I’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact these conversation strategies have had on parents, athletes, and team culture. Sue and Maureen have worked with my team for years. The athletes whose parents participated in their program show up better equipped to handle the athletic and academic challenges throughout the year. I highly recommend this book to all coaches, parents, and athletes who want to improve.”
—Jamie Franks, Head Men’s Soccer Coach, University of Denver
