Parents Raise Athletes

You’ve landed on this page for one important reason:

You’re looking for a way to BE THE BEST! 

Whether that is propelling your child to reach their full potential in sports. Or, if you’re looking for the most effective way to support them as their parent.

Bottom line you’re on a mission for greatness – and we’re here to guide you to it!

At Kid to Athlete, we believe that if you want to be great at something, then you must consider yourself an athlete. 

And, we don’t use the term ‘athlete’ to only represent a physical appearance or sports ability.

Because here, becoming an athlete is about being disciplined, focused, motivated, and unshakably tenacious so that NOTHING will stand in your way.

If that sounds like you or what you want for your athlete, then welcome! 

We have a host of amazing resources, courses, and coaching to help you explode as an athlete into whatever form of greatness you seek.

Let’s get started…

Here’s the powerhouse lineup to help you reach that next level of success.

My Game Plan Is Simple: To Help You Raise Your Athlete. 

As a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I’ve spent the past 20+ years studying the athlete growth process, honing in on the skills and traits it takes to develop high performing, well balanced, and happy athletes.

But, this has a long road – decades in the making…

I grew up like many boys do – playing sports with my dad. From street sports to soccer to football to track & field – I was immersed in sports early on and often! It is through my father that I first saw the power of commitment. As my coach, he would tirelessly study the mechanics, the techniques, the strategies, and whatever it took for him to master the sport so he could teach me how to become better. And, though we tried a lot of things that worked well, we also spent precious time doing things that didn’t.

I went on to play multiple sports through high school, until a devastating knee injury during football practice sidelined me. But, I was determined to not let that be the end of my sports career. I was on the road to competing as a decathlete in college, but my knee had other plans. It was then that I came to the hard realization that my Sports Experience Window was coming to an end. The abrupt transition from competitive track, where I practiced multiple times a day, every day to seemingly doing nothing was very difficult to make.

What this all means for you is…

I know the time, the attention, and the investment it takes to reach a high level of competition. And, I also know that the time your child has to experience their sport is a very short window. 

However, the lessons and the habits your child forms now can translate into high performance on the field and dedication and commitment off the field. 

I’ve witnessed top athletes succumb to burnout and breakdown – and it wasn’t because they couldn’t keep up with the physical demands of the sport. 

It was often because the focus wasn’t where it should be: on developing the whole athlete.

I created Kid to Athlete as the place for parents and student athletes to get the new playbook to develop aligned athletes who nurture their BIG4: physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing.

That’s why it’s my life’s mission to empower parents to maximize their child’s sports experience so they can develop next level athletes who can explode into their full potential in all areas of their lives.
