So, your child has taken up a sport and itās clear, they now have ambitionsā¦ welcome to our world!
Doing a sport for fun is one thing, excelling at it is a whole different ball game (excuse the pun).
So many elite athletes have told us that they believe better informed parents increased their chances of reaching the top.
That's why we've created The Athlete Parent Place, an information and guidance platform that combines advice from experts and elite athletes who have already 'been there'.Ā
Meet the Founder
Hey, I'm Joe Fuggle.
Having previously been schools county champion and English Schools 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 Athletics Captain.
Using my experience and expertise, andĀ 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 youāll also want to know youāve 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 mileā¦ our topic-specific guidance packs have 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.Ā

The Athlete Place
āI 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".

āI 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.ā

The Athlete Place
āAs 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 athleteās performance, whilst being sensitive to the fact that the other athlete was bitterly disappointed.ā

āThe Athlete Parent Place would have been such a great resource for us to have in the early days of Alisha's career. We honestly didnāt 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.ā
