There is no playbook for raising a Division 1 athlete. No highlight reel captures the countless hours of rides home, tears, doubt, celebration, and second-guessing that live in the background of every aspiring athlete’s story. This book shines a light on that hidden journey and helps parents, coaches, and families navigate it with clarity, honesty, and a sense of shared accountability.
Told through the dual perspectives of a father and a respected Division I coach, this book offers an unfiltered view of what it really takes to guide a child from backyard goals to college scholarships. It explores the emotional minefields of youth sports, the temptations of shortcut methods, and the subtle moments where well-intentioned support can turn into pressure. With practical frameworks, personal stories, and hard-won lessons, it will help you learn how to invest in the entire ecosystem around your child.

The Question
Was it the right way?
John Mexam
This is one of those books every parent should get their hands on as soon as their kid shows any interest in sports whether that’s rec league or travel. From start to finish it nails exactly what the role of a parent should look like in today’s competitive youth sports world. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and it gives clear perspective on how the path our kids take on the field carries over into who they become off of it.Speaking from experience, I have one child playing Division I and another competing at Division III, and I can tell you this book is right on target. It’s not just about raising athletes it’s about the relationship between moms, dads, and their kids, period. Sports or no sports, the lessons apply.
