Support for Athletes
and the Parents Who Champion Them
Brain-based coaching to help teen athletes build resilience and confidence while helping their parents support them without running on empty.
For Athletes
Strengthen focus, bounce back from mistakes faster, and develop the mental edge needed to handle pressure with calm and confidence. Learn how to reset after tough games, manage nerves before big events, and stay motivated without burning out.
For Parents
Get practical tools to support your teen's mental game without constant conflict or emotional fatigue. Learn how to communicate better, spot signs of overwhelm early, and create a calm rhythm around sports and school life.
The Outcome
A more confident athlete and a more connected parent. Expect growth that shows up in competition, in school, and at home without sacrificing peace or relationships. You'll see stronger mental stamina, clearer communication, fewer power struggles, and more joy throughout the journey.
Mental strength in action.
Not sure if it’s the right fit? Let’s talk through what your athlete needs and whether this kind of support makes sense for your family.
Why I Do What I Do
I’m Dr. Yelena Gidenko, a brain health coach, PhD in psychology, and a mom to a competitive athlete.
For over 20 years, I’ve helped people rewire their brains for peace, clarity, and performance. This work became personal when I saw how pressure was affecting families like mine. Athletes were burning out. Parents felt helpless. Home life was stretched thin.
I do this work because I know there’s a better way. A way that helps athletes thrive under pressure instead of collapsing from it. A way that gives parents practical tools instead of adding more stress.
Everything I teach comes from how the brain actually works so your family can grow stronger together.
What Families Are Saying
Helping athletes thrive without burning out and giving parents tools to support them isn’t just something I teach. It’s something I live. These are a few of the reflections families have shared:
“My daughter’s confidence is finally showing up on the field. But what surprised me most is how much calmer she is at home.”
— Mom of a 14-year-old soccer player
“This was the first time anyone explained what my son was going through in a way that actually made sense. And we got tools that helped.”
— Dad of teen swimmer
“He’s grown tremendously, not just in basketball but in focus and confidence too. He still brings up what he learned working with you and how much it helped.”
— Mom of a teen basketball player
