A parent-supervised coaching relationship

Clear goals. Individual attention. Age-appropriate practice.

Private coaching creates space to slow a skill down, practice a foundation, and give an athlete focused feedback. Jo begins by speaking with the parent or guardian about the athlete’s level, goals, and current training environment.

Jo keeps the coaching relationship clear and parent-supervised, with goals and expectations discussed before a session is arranged.
