Coaches & Parents Say...

"Sports psychology for kids and sports parents is a wonderful topic, but I am so happy about what you’re doing in this area. I think professionals like you can be so valuable in helping sports parents."

~Al Miller, Hall of Fame Soccer Coach

"I use your tips to help a sophomore high school student athlete. Last night, after I gave him some of your email tips – relax, get in the flow of the game, have fun, play by instinct, etc. - he busted loose for a career high 20 points and 15 rebounds!"

~Bob Heidkamp

"My wife and I immediately applied your tips and luckily we got a fast response. Our 16-year-old daughter reads like a case study for lack of confidence. She matches the profile your e-book describes: high technical ability and successful in soccer practice but looks like she forgets how to play in games!"

~Glenn G., New Jersey

"Kids’ Sports Psychology is a great web site by the way. One of the best web sites I've been on. It’s really, really helpful.”

~Gavin Clark, PGA England

“I've read a number of Kids’ Sports Psychology articles and watched several videos mostly about building confidence. As sports parents, we’ve changed our behavior. We've stopped criticizing her performance and have focused on what she did well. We do see an improvement in her practices, but most of all they are more enjoyable for her and us.”

~Margot Ambrose, Parent
