“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".

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
