Because Youth Sports Have Changed So Much… 

__________

The way we parent & coach our athletes must change too!

Lynnelle Sell

Founder, Iceberg Sports Education

Youth sports have become extremely competitive. Parents worry about whether their athlete will make a particular team or get quality playing time, organizations struggle to find enough quality coaches, and young athletes feel the pressure to perform.

As a parent to 3 grown athletic kids, a youth coach for over 15 years, and a former college athlete, I understand your challenges.  The Iceberg System was created to:

1. Keep kids playing year after year. Well-meaning parents & coaches will stop inadvertently sucking the fun out of their kids’ youth sports experiences.

2. Enable kids to achieve their full athletic potential. Parents will give their athletes the support they truly need, while coaches will be equipped with the insights and tools necessary to help their athletes and teams succeed.

3. Improve the communication between parents, coaches, and athletes to significantly reduce the tension and conflicts within families and organizations.
