Thank you to all of you who attended John O'Sullivan's talks back in January. We had a great turnout of coaches and parents, and the live sessions were a great success. As part of our partnership with John, he would like to offer all of our members free access to his Premium membership site through Changing the Game Project. The site has a coaches page, a parent page and an athlete page, and contains his online courses, curated favorite blogs, and top interviews from his Way of Champions Podcast. Whether you are looking to learn from a top coach, hear about the journey of a famous athlete, or hear parenting and mindset tips from top authors, psychologists and sport scientists, John has curated content for everyone. Registration is simple, just CLICK HERE to go to the link.

Once you are signed up, enjoy. Let your kids take a look as well, as the athlete page has some great insight for them as well. Here at Colorado EDGE, we are trying to do things differently, and part of that is giving our members the resources to be the best coaches, parents, and supporters of our kids. Our partnership with Changing the Game Project is a big part of that. Enjoy!



Kickoff the new year with a bang and attend our Parent Education Workshop with Changing the Game Project Founder, John O'Sullivan, on Saturday January 25, 2025! John O’Sullivan is the Founder of the Changing the Game Project, host of one of the top rated sports coaching podcasts in the world, The Way of Champions Podcast, author of 2 international bestsellers, and his TED talk "Changing the Game in Youth Sports" has been viewed over 500,000 times. John has nearly 3 decades of playing and coaching experience in youth, high school, college and professional soccer, and consults with organizations such as US Soccer, USOPC, Ireland Rugby, Aussie Rules Football and other sports organizations across North America, Australia, Asia and Europe. 

In conjunction with our club hosted Coaching Education Workshops, we are offering this FREE Parent Education Workshop following the Coach Workshops. John will be discussing:

• Why kids play and the big myths that cause them to quit, including parental FOMO
• What parents can do to make it a great experience for their kids including treating coaches as allies and not adversaries
• Giving your kids ownership of the experience
• Leaving them alone on the ride home
• Just loving to watch them compete
