Youth Sports Have Changed So Much

Navigating the youth sports arena in today’s highly competitive environment can be overwhelming – I truly understand.   

As a parent to 3 grown athletic sons, a coach for over 15 years, a former college athlete, and a sports medicine physical therapist, I’ve faced my fair share of sports-related challenges. But, I’ve also gained many valuable lessons and insights along the way. 

I created The Iceberg System as a tool to help you provide your kids with the best possible youth sports experience.
