The Free Workbook for the Parent in the Stands
Nine quick exercises to help you back your student-athlete the right way — and protect the relationship that outlasts the final whistle.
You drive the miles. You pay the fees. You'd do anything for your kid's shot at their sport. This free workbook helps you do it in a way that actually helps them.
It's the companion to the book Behind Every Great Student-Athlete, and it turns the big ideas into something you can do at the kitchen table — a page or two per chapter, honest and practical, with real room to think. No grading. Nobody sees it but you.
What you'll work through
In a few quiet minutes per chapter, you'll get clear on:
- Which of the three quiet "engines" is really driving your sideline behavior
- What your actual job is in your kid's sport — and what it isn't
- The five ways "support" sneaks into control, and how to catch yourself
- When to step in and when to step back, using one simple filter
- The red-flag non-negotiables every sports parent should know cold
…plus a keep-forever toolkit you can stick on the fridge.
Who it's for
If you're raising a competitive young athlete — club, school, travel, or all three — and you care maybe a notch too much (no shame in it; that's most of us), this was made for you.
