The sidelines of kids’ games should be a positive, encouraging environment.

But it’s not easy to get every parent on board.

That’s why we created The Healthy Sideline Toolkit.

It’s a set of 12 copy-and-paste emails you can drop straight into your league’s communication system. Each week, parents get a short, encouraging message that helps them show up well for this weekend’s games.

Wear what you believe on the sidelines.

Most kids won’t remember the score but they will remember how the sidelines felt.

Our merch exists to bring calmer, healthier energy to youth sports through visible values and being a constant positive influence to everyone around us.

Every item ships worldwide and comes in multiple colors, so you can support your kid’s team while sharing what really matters.

The Most Overlooked Classroom In Every District

Youth sports are considered just a physical outlet for kids. What we’re overlooking is the depth of learning and development happening there.

Hi. I’m Jonathan.

One day I was watching a 7/8-year-old YMCA basketball game – you know, the kind where they don’t call traveling and the final score is something like 8-6 – and it hit me:

Some of these parents are taking this way too seriously.

They were yelling at the referee (a junior in high school by the way) and treating the entire thing like a dang NBA game.

I knew there had to be a better way to parent our kids through sports.

My goal with Healthy Sports Parents is to help you develop the tools needed to approach your kid’s athletic journey in a healthy way.

On our podcast, we talk to people from all walks of the athletic journey – coaches, former players, a child psychologist, physical therapists, parents, strength coaches… you get the idea – so you can develop a well-rounded perspective on what is needed to help your athlete thrive through their playing years.

If I can ever help in any way, please reach out and let me know.

Here’s to active kids, healthy relationships, and incredible memories we’ll never forget.

PS – If you want my credentials, I have a Bachelor’s in Sport Management with a minor in Coaching, a Master’s Degree in Student Ministry, 3.5 years at a Division I school, and multiple years in all different levels of youth sports.
