THE ELEVATE
PARENT PLAYBOOK
FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG ATHLETES
Understand what your child needs, improve communication, and choose a practical next step together, with guidance from Brett Robichaud.
Confidence. Motivation. Communication. Expectations.

Based on The Elevate Parent Playbook. Practical guidance from a parent, educator, coach, and author.
• Not sure where to start? Bring one recent moment. You do not need to have the answers ready.
• What will we work on? Understanding each perspective, naming the constraints, and choosing a practical next step.
• What happens next? Brett will discuss fit, availability, and session details with you before you commit.
PARENT. EDUCATOR. COACH. AUTHOR.
I’m Brett Robichaud, founder of Elevate Dojo and author of The Elevate Parent Playbook. I help families look beyond the visible result to the person being developed.
The aim: help your child ask for support, handle pressure, and take more ownership of their next step.
