The Champion Parents Promise
Champion Parents Academy exists to empower parents to become confident, supportive, and informed partners in their child’s sporting journey. We believe that positive, educated parental support creates healthier athletes, stronger relationships, and better long-term outcomes in sport and in life.
Our mission is to help parents replace pressure with perspective, control with connection, and outcomes with growth so children can stay motivated, resilient, and joyful in sport for as long as possible.
If our support keeps even just one child in sport for longer, feeling happier, safer, and more confident, then everything we do is worth it.

What Our Champion Parents are Saying
“I love that there are three different workshops depending on your child’s level in sport and, in a way, your level as a parent too. I started with workshop two but ended up paying to do the first one as well, and still learned several new things. I’m not quite ready for workshop three yet, but I’ll definitely be back.”
{“With over 40 years in football as a coach and scout, I’ve seen the best -and the worst -of sports parent behaviour. The Champion Parents workshops are packed with practical, valuable insight for parents who want to support their children properly and keep them in the game longer. I only wish this had existed when I first started coaching might have kept more talented kids in sport.”
{“I was really struggling to know how best to support my teenage athlete. Nat shared some incredibly helpful tips during the workshop, which gave me much more confidence. I also reached out afterwards with a question and she responded straight away, generously offering additional advice. Thank you so much, Nat.”
{“I watched the workshop wearing two hats as a parent to my two sons, and as the Welfare Officer for their club. I took so much from it and immediately recognised the value it would bring, not just to individual families but to the wider club environment. Because of that, we strongly encouraged all parents to take part.”
{A calm, supportive approach to youth sport

Stronger Club Culture & Alignment
Parent education plays a vital role in creating a strong, aligned club culture. When parents understand the club’s values, development philosophy, and processes, it builds trust, reduces conflict, and ensures consistent support for children. This alignment helps prioritise long-term development and wellbeing over short-term results, strengthens relationships between parents and coaches, and creates an environment where children feel supported and are more likely to stay in the sport long term.
Improved Coach–Parent Relationships
Parent education helps strengthen coach–parent relationships by creating a shared understanding of roles, expectations, and development goals. When parents understand coaching decisions and the club’s approach, communication becomes more constructive, trust increases, and potential conflict is reduced. This allows coaches to focus on coaching, parents to support positively, and children to benefit from a more consistent and supportive environment.
Better Athlete Experience & Retention
Educating parents improves the athlete experience by ensuring children receive consistent, positive support across all sporting environments. When parents understand development pathways and challenges, athletes feel less pressure, more confidence, and greater enjoyment. This supportive environment increases motivation, wellbeing, and ultimately helps retain more young people in sport for longer.
