The Parent's Pitch

📘 The Parent Pitch: A Modern Guide to Raising Athletes Without Losing Yourself
Format: Digital Ebook (PDF) | 78 pages

Description:
Raising an athlete in today’s youth sports world isn’t easy. The pressure, the pace, the politics—it can pull even the most well-meaning parents off track. The Parent Pitch is a 78-page guide for parents who want to support their child’s athletic journey with clarity, confidence, and compassion—without losing themselves in the process.

Written by a former Division I athlete and performance psychology coach, this book is both a personal story and a practical roadmap. It blends psychology, leadership, and real-life experience to help parents show up as mentors, not managers.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Build trust and emotional safety with your athlete
✅ Communicate clearly during tough moments
✅ Avoid the traps of over-coaching, over-identifying, or overreacting
✅ Support confidence, growth, and resilience—on and off the field
✅ Reflect on your own role in the bigger picture of your child’s life

Includes:
• Guided reflection prompts for parents
• “Car ride” and “dinner table” scripts for emotional moments
• Tools to shift from pressure to purpose
• A grounded, insightful voice that understands the athlete-parent dynamic

For the parent who wants to do it right. For the kid who deserves support, not pressure. This is your playbook.
