Final thoughts
Keep the support going!
“A really eye-opening course - I picked up numerous tips to help me understand how I can adjust my attitude and current approach to help my children reach their full sporting potential. This is a worthwhile course for parents of children who play sport to any level ”
“I would highly recommend this to any coaches - it provides them with new approaches to motivate and support children with differing mindsets. Thank you Lisa! ”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the materials and couldn’t stop myself working straight through all of the sections in one sitting! Lisa provides practical advice and tips based on psychology research and I am already putting some of them into practice. ”
“This course is exactly what any parent of children who participate in sport should listen to! Lisa is knowledgeable, clear and as a parent her self makes it so relatable. I love how the course is organised into sections so that you can pick the topic that you need to review easily. I think I will be referring to this course a number of times over the years! Can’t recommend enough! ”
“I loved the way Lisa broke Resilience into 2 mindsets and the Support Matrix is a great idea which needs to be stuck on the fridge and regularly referred to - as, as a stressed parent it's often the last thing we think to do.”
