Jonathan Carone — the founder of the Healthy Sports Parents podcast — has launched Healthy Sports Parenting, an online parent education course.
The programming is designed for clubs, leagues and organizations to provide to their families, but individuals can also access it. Pricing starts at $49 annually.
Carone said the project grew out of many conversations at the Buying Sandlot Summit, where he moderated the professionalized rec panel.
“One of the themes I heard over and over from league and club operators was that parent education is one of the biggest gaps in youth sports,” Carone said. “They all agreed their lives would be better if they had less issues with parents, but none of them have the time or staff to proactively take on the issues that come from the parent side.
“The goal is to help organizations build healthier sideline cultures, reduce parent conflict, improve communication and ultimately help more kids stay in sports longer.”
