“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 ”
Sideline dad!“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! ”
Football coach“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. ”
Sports mum“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! ”
Laura Pratt“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.”
