QUESTION: What challenge have you faced as a sport parent?

(Real Answers from my Research)

“I don’t know good training from bad - especially early on in the journey.”

“When my daughter gets upset after a competition, I don’t know how to support her - and I end up anxious too.”

“The pushy parents shouting from the sidelines are hard to watch.”

“Sometimes I ask too many questions.”

“When she was facing a mental block, I didn’t know how to help.”

"First competition - overwhelming as so much going on"

"Seeing him so dejected"

"Sometimes I try too soon to discuss"

"When coaches DEMAND 100% attendance to stay on the team and I notice he's tired, stressed, needs a break, needs to focus on school...."

"I feel unprepared for his journey as I know very little about the sport"

Every sport parent’s experience sounds different - yet each is filled with the same emotion: wanting the best for their child, but not always knowing what “the best” looks like.

So is it really possible for one two-hour workshop to support all these different parents - and more?

The honest answer? It’s challenging. And that’s exactly why the Super-P Approach had to be research-based, not just my opinion. Supporting every sport parent meant really understanding the pressures they face, the mistakes we all make, and how even small changes can make a massive difference.

Why One Workshop Can Change Everything

At first, even I doubted it. How could one workshop possibly help every parent - from the calm and quiet to the fiery and competitive?

Because Super-P isn’t just my opinion. It’s built on years of research into what really helps children thrive in sport - and what gets in the way.

The truth is, according to sport psychology research all sport parents share the same four roles: Provider, Interpreter, Role Model, and Protector.

Provider - supplying practical support, from gear and snacks to creating a calm environment.
Interpreter - helping children make sense of wins, losses, and mistakes.
Role Model - showing composure, resilience, and sportsmanship.
Protector - keeping children safe, physically and emotionally, both in and out of sport.

Every parent struggles with at least one of them. Super-P helps you spot where you wobble and gives you tools to get back on track - fast.

The Hair-Braiding Story (And Why It Stuck With Me)

One mum from my research - an ex-athlete and coach herself - came to the workshop, I have to admit given her experience, I wasn't sure how much I could help her.

Her biggest battle wasn’t about performance or pressure. It was mornings. Specifically, her daughter’s competition-day hair.

Every event started with tears, stress, and arguments. Then, through the Super-P framework, she realised she could remove the trigger altogether. The night before the next competition, she booked a local hairdresser to do a braid that would last the weekend.

The result? A calm morning, a happy athlete - and that very day, her 11-year-old qualified for Team GB.

Not because of the hairstyle, but because the stress disappeared. That’s what Super-P does - it helps parents find the small, smart changes that make a massive difference.

What Parents Tell Me After

“I didn’t realise how much my pre-game nerves affected my daughter.”
“I finally understood why my pep talks made my son tense.”
“I thought I knew it all - but I left with new ways to connect with my kids.”

And that’s the pattern: 75% of parents think they don’t need education, yet 95% leave the workshop saying it changed something important.

Because when emotions run high, even the simplest advice - stay calm, focus on effort, be supportive - becomes harder to do. Super-P gives you the tools to actually do it.

Two Hours. Endless Impact.

In just two hours, parents discover evidence-based strategies that reduce stress, improve communication, and help children perform and enjoy sport more.

No jargon, no theory dump - just real, practical tools for real sideline moments.

So, whether you’re a parent, coach, or club leader, here’s the truth: great athletes don’t grow in a vacuum, and neither do great parents.

Super-P gives parents what sport has been missing - a way to feel calm, confident, and proud of how they show up for their child.

Imagine it: calmer mornings, happier competitions, stronger bonds - and a child who loves their sport that little bit more.

All from two hours that change the way you see yourself within your child's sport experience.
