MEET KATIE
Hi! My name is Katie, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, mom of three, and founder of The Competitive Parent Lab.
From the start, sports have always been a means of connection for me. They’ve brought me closer to myself and the people I love. Now as a parent, sports and movement continually connect me further to my kids. As long as I can stay regulated through the inevitable ups and downs they experience along the way.
I care about your athletes mental health and I care about your mental health.
Together, let’s make this wild ride of a moment the most satisfying and fulfilling!
Foundations of the Competitive Parent
MY APPROACH
Mental health isn’t soft, it’s transformative. It’s the courage to face challenges, break old cycles, and build a relentless spirit. When athletes, parents, and coaches unite, we give kids the tools to enhance confidence, dream bigger, and know no bounds.
Work With Me
Parents often reach out to collaborate one-on-one or to bring support into their child’s school or league. Leagues and organizations also contact me directly to strengthen their culture—because when the foundation is strong, performance follows.
Ready to explore how we can work together?
Consulting
I help sports leagues build better systems for parents, coaches, and athletes. Whether it’s setting clear expectations or repairing conflicts, my goal is always to create an environment where kids can thrive, on and off the field.
Training
Some leagues or parents want a deeper dive and more immersive experience. For those, I spend time connecting with parents, coaches, and athletes to really understand what’s going on. That way, I can share practical ideas and tweaks that make things work better for everyone.
Speaking
For organizations looking for a spark of inspiration and motivation, I offer engaging hour-long interactive presentations. These sessions are energetic, uplifting, and packed with practical takeaways that participants can start using right away.
