Raise Free: The Parent's Guide to Courage, Growth, and Greatness in Youth Sport

In a world obsessed with medals and rankings, Raise Free offers a radical shift: a guide for parents who want to raise resilient, self-aware young athletes not just performers. This book is a call to action for emotionally intelligent sport parenting, where connection matters more than control, and growth matters more than glory.

Through powerful insights, psychology-backed strategies, and practical tools, Raise Free helps parents:

• Support without pressuring, even in high-stakes environments
• Foster courage, emotional safety, and intrinsic motivation
• Reframe failure as fuel for growth and resilience
• Build a home culture of curiosity, reflection, and persistence
• Navigate sideline behavior, post-game conversations, and club politics with wisdom
• Protect against burnout, comparison, and the myth of falling behind

From pre-game rituals to post-match reflections, this book equips parents to be calm in chaos, curious in conflict, and courageous in love. Whether your child is just starting out or chasing elite dreams, Raise Free will help you become the kind of supporter every athlete deserves.

Because the greatest victory isn't what your child achieves, it's who they become. And that journey starts with you.
