Raising Winners: Building Resilient Athletes and Engaged Parents An Asynchronous Online Course for Coaches The needs of today's student-athletes are rapidly changing. Old coaching paradigms are no longer effective in achieving the goal of building resilient, accountable athletes and winning teams. Being a coach in today's world is one of the most difficult jobs anyone can take on. Parents are more involved in their child's athletic experience than ever before, and great coaches are leaving the profession in droves due to lack of support and burnout. Athletes have more contact with their primary caregivers and their coaches than anyone else in their lives. Although the overinvolvement of parents is harming our profession, what if there was another way? What if you felt equipped as a coach to shift parents from adversaries to powerful allies? Raising Winners: Building Resilient Athletes and Engaged Parents is a course designed specifically for coaches, athletic directors and club sport directors to help you facilitate a transformational pre-season parent meeting that will allow you as a coach to focus on what matters most: serving your student-athletes, building strong leaders and good humans, and actually coaching your team! The most generous interpretation of over-involved parents is simple - they want their child to thrive and to be successful. Ironically, coaches have the same goal for their athletes - the mode of achieving this goal is simply misaligned. Raising Winners helps coaches provide parents with the tools they need to become our greatest asset in helping us build resilient, accountable, confident athletes!
