Strategies for Parenting Elite Athletes

Parents of Athletes

Research on the impact of parents of elite athletes shows that parents have a profound impact on their child's well being and performance.

Working together we will use evidence based techniques to help you foster your athlete’s ownership for their ambitions, while strengthening your relationship.
