How Our System Supports Parents

Our system provides parents with detailed, easy-to-understand feedback about their child’s strengths, areas for growth, and overall mental approach to sports. This insight allows parents to tailor their support, encouragement, and guidance in ways that reinforce positive habits, motivation, and confidence.

Through clear reporting and actionable recommendations, parents can track progress over time, celebrate achievements, and intervene proactively when challenges arise. By understanding the principles of the athletic mindset for parents, caregivers are empowered to create an environment that nurtures resilience, perseverance, and a love for the game.

I really enjoyed taking this survey. I thought it was very accurate and useful. I
really wished that I had taken this survey during my competing years but I can
still use these development plans and results to really look at myself more clearly.
It defnitely made me take a step back to see what I have been doing and gives me
ways I can perform better, focus more, and help more with my mental health.
- Adam Hidais

The Athletic Mindset assessment was very accurate. I agree one hundred percent with my
results and reading it was crazy to see how accurate it was. I found myself taking
pictures of my results and sending them to old teammates and recommending the
test to them as well.
