Performance & Wellbeing Guidance for Parents of Young Athletes
Athlete-Parenting is Changing...
For years, athlete-parents have had to learn everything the hard way, facing the same pressures and pitfalls as generations before them, often with advice that’s vague, outdated, and inconsistent.
The Athlete Place is here to help.
Our Parent Platform is building a new generation of informed athlete parents with clear, practical guidance to support your athlete's goals, big or small.
Introducing
Your child trains hard and wants to improve.
But many of the biggest performance and wellbeing gains for teenage athletes are shaped at home.
This is where parents can make a real difference, not by coaching, but by shaping an environment that makes great habits easier to build and easier to stick to.
The Athlete Place brings everything together in one place to help you understand what matters, what good looks like, and how to support it at home, covering performance and wellbeing, parent-specific topics, and key decisions around your athlete’s life beyond school.
Built with experts, elite athletes, and experienced parents.
How it looks
A parent-friendly platform you can dip into anytime, with bite-sized topics across the key performance and wellbeing pillars, and parent-specific areas.
How it Works
Designed specifically for parents of young athletes, this resource builds your understanding of what drives performance and mental health in sport, and what good looks like at different ages and stages.
You’ll learn how to:
Support smarter choices around sleep, nutrition, mindset, and recovery
Create routines and a home setup that make consistency more realistic
Have better conversations around pressure, confidence, setbacks, and motivation
protect wellbeing while still backing ambition
So you can support your athlete in a more effective and better-informed way.
It also features topics that relate to you as parents, highlighting the common challenges you face and showing that what you do and say matters.
