Uncertainty About How Hard to Push
Trying to help your athlete reach their full potential while worrying about burnout and not damaging your relationship. -
Concern About Performance
Wondering what to do if your athlete plays inconsistently, spirals after mistakes, or freezes in big moments.
The good news? Small, simple changes in how you guide and support your athlete can have a big impact on their performance and enjoyment.

Play Their Best

I Wasn't a Sideline Screamer—But I Still Got It Wrong
I wanted to help my kids. I didn’t realize I was doing the opposite.
Hi, I’m Lynnelle Sell, founder of Iceberg Sports Education. As a youth coach, former college athlete, and sports medicine physical therapist, I’ve seen sports from every angle. But my biggest lessons came from guiding my three kids through their sports journeys.
I wasn’t the parent shouting from the sidelines or obsessing over stats. But I did give my kids a lot of advice, whether they wanted it or not.
It wasn’t until they were in high school that I realized I’d been quietly sucking the fun out of their sports. Not recognizing it sooner is one of my biggest regrets.
As I devoured resources to improve my coaching and parenting skills, I discovered that I was not alone. Today, 70% of kids quit sports by age 13, mostly because they’re not having fun anymore.
I created Iceberg Edge to share the tools, insights, and strategies I wish I’d had when my kids were younger — so you can give your child the youth sports experience they deserve.
