Parent of an Athlete Course

Help your child grow in sport while making sure they know they are valued for more than their performance.

Created by Ben Roberts, this five-module digital course helps parents support young athletes through the challenges of sport and the important parts of life beyond it. Each video module is paired with a practical worksheet PDF to help you reflect, start meaningful conversations and put the ideas into practice as a family.

Inside the course

• Your Child Is More Than Their Sport — build confidence and identity beyond results.
• Communication — create calmer, more supportive conversations before and after competition.
• Pressure, Failure and Setbacks — help your child work through disappointment, injury and challenges.
• Discipline, Character and Leadership — encourage responsibility, respect and strong values.
• Life After Sport — make room for education, interests and future pathways alongside sporting goals.

The workbook includes parent, athlete and shared activities, plus practical resources such as a game-day checklist, post-competition questions and a four-week family plan.

This course is for parents and caregivers who want to support the athlete while protecting the relationship and the person behind the performance.
