Unlock Your Athletic Potential

Are you an EMERGING ATHLETE, or the parent/coach of one?

Let’s start with some real talk: Only a small percentage “make it” into paid professional sporting contracts. Just 1.2% of NCAA basketball players reach the NBA, and many promising careers end during talent development phases due to non-selection, injury, or eligibility issues.

Becoming an elite athlete is more than raw talent—it takes technical, mental and social skills, physical prowess and a relentless pursuit. Success demands you face your realities head on with resiliency, strategic decision making and robust support system.

Becoming an elite athlete is more than simply being talented. Success hinges on technical mastery, physical endurance, mental adaptability, social competency and relentless pursuit. The emerging athlete transition pathway demands you face realities head on with resiliency, smart decision making and by leveraging a robust support system.


“Development is a personal process even when conducted in a team environment”

John Cruyff


Do YOU or your athlete FIND YOURSELF facing these realities:
Trapped in the "good but not great" trap despite strong commitment and work ethic?
Losing confidence with bench rotations, selection pressures, or strained coach relationships?
Struggling to navigate contracts, club politics, or international transitions?
Overwhelmed by next steps—college pathways, new teams, or relocation demands?
Reeling from setbacks like career-threatening injuries or sudden deselection?

“Pip has been a huge help in my transition from a high school athlete, into a semi-professional environment, and now about to graduate from College in the US. The assistance she provides is above and beyond any other coach/mentor I’ve been around, helping with my confidence and resiliency, being an ear to talk to and more”

“Since I left school, Pip has been an incredibly solid and influential figure in my life. She’s been more than just a coach—she’s been a mentor, a confidant, and someone I could rely on through every high and low. From the early days in the NRL Pathways system to where I am now in a US college programme at AIC, Pip has been there behind the scenes, always offering honest advice, quiet encouragement, and strong belief in my potential.

She always saw the bigger picture and pushed me to chase not just athletic success, but personal growth and purpose. What sets Pip apart is how much she truly cares about the people she coaches. Pip leads with integrity, humility, and heart. Her words stuck with me, but more importantly, her actions show what leadership looks like. I carry a lot of what she’s taught me into my own journey both on and off the field.
