A Guide for Adults, Parents, And Families To Help Be In The Best Position To Max Out In Sports And Life. Select your option below:

It can be more challenging for a parent to watch a game than it is for the athlete to play the game. There’s a disconnect there.

As a parent, you must realize that even if it’s delivered with love, trying to be a coach from the stands doesn’t work. And post-game is not about the parent and the coach. It’s about the kid. The car ride home can be very intense for many young athletes because parents are amped up emotionally after watching their athlete.

Kids are aware when they make a mistake during sports. Either the coach will let them know, or teammates will let them know. They don’t need to be reminded again on the car ride home. Win or lose, or whether your athlete did well or not, the conversation should be generated from the athlete. The parent is there as a resource, and there should be no teaching moments until 24 hours later. You’ve got to let the experience settle. You need to sense what your kid needs on the car ride home. It could be silence, or it could be a stop to get ice cream. If you want to help your athlete’s mindset and help them grow and develop, listen and be aware of their body language.

You must care as much as your athlete does, but you can’t care more. 

This book/workbook is modeled around the strategies and concepts Dr. Widman has cultivated over the years of working with athletes, teams, coaches and leaders. It is the way if you want to max out in sport and life. Our aim is to educate the parent on the language of elite mindset training and the strategies we teach. The cool thing is that anyone can take advantage of these strategies and apply to themselves, their family, or their athlete.
What we say and how we say it matters to our kids.

If you truly want to help your kid (athlete) or your family to max out, it starts with maxing out yourself. This book can get you there, but you must be willing to remove your ego and do the work.

Have an open mind and an open heart. Let’s goooo!
