    About this ebook

    Raising Athletic Royalty: Insights To Inspire for a Lifetime presents impactful words, quotes, phrases and illustrative stories designed to lift the spirits of junior athletes as they reinforce the positive life lessons athletics affords. Promising players have their best shot at greatness if they are trained by well-informed parents and coaches. Choosing the correct, optimistic words at the right time motivates, inspires, and contributes to the growth of the player.
    Raising Athletic Royalty combines the latest sports science discoveries and neuroscience personality profiling along with personal lessons that motivate belief, confidence and passion. In modern sports science, customizing a developmental plan begins with understanding the athlete’s individual brain and body type. Raising Athletic Royalty goes beyond conventional means and gently nudges parents into the modern world of sports psychology. Understanding your child's genetic proficiencies and deficiencies will help accelerate the learning curve.
    Raising Athletic Royalty captures the spirit and language that every child needs to hear- the script for success and happiness on and off the playing fields. It is no accident that certain athletes become great, while the majority of athletes, some with even more natural talent, remain average at best. Whatever the sport, the days of raising a world class athlete by being a passive parent are long gone. Hobbyist parents raise hobbyist athletes. Experts agree that the ‘one size fits all’ training methodology is obsolete.
    Raising Athletic Royalty will truly enlighten and liberate parents and coaches with these exciting insights and principles.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      To my wife Linda, without her never-ending, loyal attention to detail, this book would have never taken …so long.

      To Missy DeWalt, for her positive and supportive attitude in helping manage my schedules, websites and social media campaign.

      To all the incredible philosophers, educators and motivational writers who’ve come before. Every attempt has been made to deliver a book of original quotes, phrases and stories. Any similarities are coincidental.

      PREFACE

      As a veteran teacher, author and parent of a world class athlete, the most common developmental issue I see facing my clients internationally is the inability of gifted athletes to achieve the results they are truly capable of achieving. The question from invested parents is: Why?

      The most common answer isn’t the athlete’s lack of talent; it’s the parent’s unfamiliarity of the developmental process. It’s simply the absence of a modern customized developmental plan. Although parents may have Ivy League degrees or be CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, the skills needed to raise a high performance athlete are both unique and specific to the athlete and their chosen sport.

      In writing Raising Athletic Royalty: Insights to Inspire for a Lifetime, my goal is to present the information parents and coaches didn’t even know… they needed to know. Information such as the importance of the mental and emotional components modern sports psychology/science have identified as essential to elite athletes.

      It is the responsibly of the parent of a high performance athlete to become aware of the ‘do’s and don’ts’ as they manage their child’s athletic career. Poor communication (words and actions) can crush the most talented athlete’s confidence, destroy enthusiasm and permanently damage the emotional climate great coaches’ work to build. Positive communication can increases momentum, reignite commitment and maximize athletic potential.

      The evolutionary state of sports demands that parents be more involved. The competition is bigger, faster and stronger than ever before. Around the globe, athletes are training every component of the game with sports science efficiency. Parental influence has the greatest impact on an athlete’s success. The words chosen by parents and coaches can make or break a player. It is not just what you say... it is when you say it, your tone of voice, your facial expressions and your body language. Words cause thoughts, thoughts begin action.

      To maximize potential at the quickest rate, parents and coaches need to effectively communicate positive modern methodologies throughout the developmental process.

      Whether you are motivating a team before practice, driving your child to an athletic event or simply trying to steer your high performance athlete’s career, Raising Athletic Royalty was written to assist players, parents and coaches in understanding how to encourage, manage and motivate high performance athletes.

      Raising Athletic Royalty is your ‘go to guide’ to nurturing the greatness found in your children.

      INTRODUCTION

      Raising Athletic Royalty: Insights To Inspire for a Lifetime presents impactful words, quotes, phrases and illustrative stories designed to lift the spirits of junior athletes as they reinforce the positive life lessons athletics affords. The motivational vocabulary presented in Raising Athletic Royalty will assist parents and coaches in the guidance of their athletes. Promising players have their best shot at greatness if they are trained by well-informed parents and coaches. Choosing the correct, optimistic words at the right time motivates, inspires, and contributes to the growth of the player.

      Transforming a young junior competitor into athletic royalty takes more than raw talent and practice. Maximizing athletic potential does not occur by chance, it takes an organized plan. This book deciphers the hidden components needed to rise above the crowd.

      It is no accident that certain athletes become great, while the majority of athletes, some with even more natural talent, remain average at best. Whatever the sport, the days of raising a world class athlete by being a passive parent are long gone. Hobbyist parents raise hobbyist athletes. Experts agree that the one size fits all training methodology is obsolete.

      In modern sports science, customizing a developmental plan begins with understanding the athlete’s individual brain and body type. Raising Athletic Royalty goes beyond conventional means and gently nudges parents into the modern world of sports psychology. Understanding your child's genetic proficiencies and deficiencies will help accelerate the learning curve.

      Raising Athletic Royalty will truly enlighten and liberate parents and coaches with these exciting insights and principles.

      MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PREDISPOSITIONS

      What if I told you that you think you know your athlete, but you don’t? What if I shared a tool to assist you in understanding why your son, daughter or student acts the way they do? What if I showed you why different personalities are better suited for different sports, styles and/or positions? What if I said, to accelerate growth, it is essential that you get into your child’s world instead of forcing them into your world? What if I explained how motivating within their genetic guidelines will maximizes their potential at a much quicker rate?

      To accelerate growth, it is essential that you get into your child’s world instead of forcing them into your world.

      The old school teaching/coaching methodology demands the student get into the coach and/or parent’s training methodology with total disregard to the student’s unique brain and body design. More often than not, this archaic approach produces average athletes at best. At its worst, it quickly causes gifted athletes to leave the game.

      Let’s begin by recognizing and respecting your child’s inborn characteristics. This is commonly known as their brain and body type. Because the most universal personality type indicator is the Myers
