Supporting Your Athlete's Athletic Dreams
A Four-Part Series for
Parents, Coaches and School Administrators
of the K-12 Athlete
Why? After over 35 combined years of working with athletes, parents and teams we realize there are a great deal of questions when it comes to protecting and progressing young athletes properly.
This series is developed to help answer questions, and provide education so the coach, parent, and administrator can make wise and healthy decisions when it comes to their athlete.
Each segment is 75 minutes in duration to include both education and time for questions and answers. The series is available as a special packet of 4, but can also be purchased individually per class and will be held via Zoom.
See below for specific details of what we will cover in each class.
