Be the steady one, not just the biggest fan.

As football gets more serious at U16, so does the pressure on the people watching from the sideline. This course helps you support your teenager's ambition without adding to the weight they're already carrying — staying genuinely connected even when they stop telling you how training really went, and knowing what to say (and what to leave out) during the harder conversations, including non-selection.

Ideal for parents who want to:
  • Understand the pressures U16 athletes face on and off the pitch
  • Support independence while staying genuinely connected
  • Build resilience and confidence in your teenager
  • Communicate effectively during a critical stage of development
  • Handle harder conversations without damaging the relationship
