Lead with Confidence,
build resilience.
Join Dr. Michael McElhenie and Greg Dunn inside the Playbook E-Learning Membership—built for parents and coaches who want to help kids thrive in sports and beyond.
Youth sports aren’t what they used to be.
Parents & coaches often speak different languages.
Kids burn out, lose confidence, or stop enjoying the game.
Families struggle to balance performance and well-being.
Our e-learning membership bridges the gap—giving parents, coaches, and athletes the tools to guide your children with confidence and joy.
You want your athletes to have fun and be confident…
❌ But, you’re not sure how to encourage with constructive feedback without discouraging them.
❌ The pressure from other parents, coaches, and the culture around youth sports makes it tough to stay positive and focused.
❌ When you just want your child to thrive — but the noise, negativity, and fear of “falling behind” get in the way of joy and development.
❌ When the car ride home turns into stress, silence, or tension instead of a positive connection.
Build the community you want for our athletes.
