Learn from Experts How You Can Be the Best Athlete Parent


The Athlete Parent Place
is the game-changing athlete parent guidance resource that everyone is talking about.

YOU have a dream to help your athlete achieve their sporting dreams.

WE have the guidance, support and community to make it happen.

 
 


Wouldn't it be nice if parenting an athlete was easy?

You say the right thing every time after they've had a disappointing performance.

You know they're putting the right things into their body to optimise their recovery and wellbeing.

You know exactly what you're doing and your athlete wins every time they perform - amazing!

But it's not as simple as that, is it?

Parenting an athlete can be a complete minefield of guesswork, emotion, learning things the hard way, and constantly second guessing yourself.

Right now, you're probably wishing you could wave a magic wand and ensure your athlete becomes the person you know they can be, in and out of sport.

Welcome to the world of athlete parenting!

It's so much fun, and an incredibly rewarding journey.

But it's not easy by any means.

And the fear of not doing the right things, or not knowing how you can help can be paralysing.

We want to let you into a little secret....

Mum-I-edited

We've teamed up with experts, professional athletes and other parents just like you to create the ultimate athlete parent resource to stop you second-guessing yourself.

Every athlete parent has done this too.

If you think you're the only one. If you think you're alone.

If you're wondering how everyone else has their athlete's nutrition or mindset under control, or knows how to support their child through the highs and lows without any drama...

When in reality... everyone is struggling just as much as you are, they don't know what they don't know and wish they could have some confirmation they're doing the right thing.

But there is so much to learn... I don't have the time or even know where to start?!

That's where we come in.

Hi, I'm Joe Fuggle!

Having previously been schools county champion and multiple National Age-Group Champion, I went on to represent Great Britain in the 400m hurdles. I graduated from Loughborough University with a Sports Science degree where I was also Captain of the athletics team and set up The Athlete Place!

Using my experience and expertise, and with the help of my mum, I've created The Athlete Parent Place to inspire, educate and support the next generation of athletes and their parents.

 

 

 

Believing your athlete has what it takes and watching them reach their goals is every parents dream but you’ll also want to know you’ve done everything you can to help them get there.

To help me achieve my goals, my mum, Caroline, went out of her way to find out all she could about nutrition, psychology and everything else (literally)... Our platform has been designed to save you all of this effort! All the information you could need is now in one neat place.


So, for those who want to go the extra mile… this platform has been created to help you gain a better understanding of areas that impact sport performance and athlete wellbeing whilst also showing you how YOU can help your athlete.

Athletes and Parents Love Our Platform

  • The Athlete Place

    “I wouldn't be where I am without the support my parents give me...They've fed me with belief and have spent the last 8 years driving me up and down the country to meets and training to help me turn my dreams into a reality! It's important they get support too so they know how important they are in our journeys and can continue to help us along the way, The Athlete Parent Place offers exactly that".

    Olympic, World, Commonwealth & European 800m Medalist AND World indoor 600m Record Holder!

  • The Athlete Place

    “I was particularly enamoured and drawn to the innovation of the platform. I have two children of my own, and they will no doubt face similar challenges. So I want to know how best I can support them through the sometimes difficult periods.”

    CEO, England Athletics

  • The Athlete Place

    “As you can imagine, our house has often been a rollercoaster of emotions, with one athlete being on a high, whilst the other is on a low. I would have loved the opportunity to speak to other parents in the same situation to find out how they managed to find the right balance between enjoying one athlete’s performance, whilst being sensitive to the fact that the other athlete was bitterly disappointed.”

    Mum of International Athletes Joe & Hannah Brier

  • The Athlete Place

    “The Athlete Parent Place would have been such a great resource for us to have in the early days of Alisha's career. We honestly didn’t know a thing about Team selections/funding/dealing with the highs and lows of supporting a young athlete, so any advice from others in the same situation would have been really helpful.”

    Mum of Scottish 60m & 100m Record holder, Alisha

  • The Athlete Place

    “As a parent of an up-and-coming athlete, The Athlete Parent Place will be great! We can all help each other with advice or information. It can be a minefield out there!”

    Mum of recent British U18 400mH Record Holder, Onyeka

  • The Athlete Place

    “As parents of sporty children, we all have questions, experiences and concerns, and having a safe space where we can talk, connect, share and learn is fantastic. The Athlete Parent Place is a much-needed resource which will support many of us now and in the future.”

    Mum of Great Britain Sprinter Amber Anning
