Private Training Parent & Athlete Agreement

All private training sessions must be prepaid prior to training.

Sessions may be paid in full or according to an agreed-upon payment plan of monthly installments.

Training sessions will not begin until payment has been received or a payment plan has been agreed to and initiated.

This helps keep the process clear, organized, and fair for everyone.

All sessions must be used within the time frame of the program being purchased.

For example, if an athlete is enrolled in a 24-session 12 week program, the expectation is that those 24 sessions are completed within that 12-week period.

I understand that injuries, illness, away tournaments, vacations, school commitments, and family schedules may come up. When that happens, I will make every effort to help your athlete complete their sessions within, or as close as possible to, the original program time frame.

The goal is not to be rigid. The goal is to keep the training consistent, organized, and effective so your athlete gets the full benefit of the program. The best outcomes happen with consistency over a long period of time.

All 12-week programs have the option of an additional 12-week program or a month-to-month training program once the initial 12-week program is complete.

This allows training to continue without interruption and helps maintain consistency, progress, and momentum for the athlete.

If a family does not plan to continue after the initial 12-week program, please communicate that before the program ends so we can plan accordingly.

All private training sessions require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.

If a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, that session will be counted as used.

I work very hard to be flexible with schedules. When things come up, I will always do my best to reschedule when possible and make it work for your family and situation.

However, when a session is cancelled within 24 hours, I am usually not able to fill that spot with another athlete. At that point, the time has already been reserved, planned for, and held specifically for your athlete.

When an in-person session cannot happen, a remote/online session may be offered as an option if every effort to reschedule the session in person has been exhausted.

Athletes are expected to arrive on time and ready to train (with water, shoes on, and a great attitude).

Private training sessions are scheduled for a specific time block. If an athlete arrives late, the session will still end at the scheduled time.

Being on time matters. It helps the athlete prepare, stay focused, and get the most out of each session. It also respects the schedule of other athletes training before or after them.

For remote/online sessions, athletes are expected to be logged in and ready to begin at the scheduled session time.

I understand that life happens. Traffic, school, practices, and family schedules can be a lot. But consistent lateness impacts the quality of the training session and the overall experience and will not be tolerated.

If your athlete is given access to Player Pulse, they are expected to complete their daily check-ins on the Player Pulse app consistently.

These check-ins are an important part of the training process. They help me better understand how the athlete is feeling, how they are recovering, and what may be impacting their performance. It also educated your athlete as to how important it is to care for themselves beyond training.

Training is not just about what happens during the session. Sleep, soreness, stress, mood, energy, confidence, and recovery all matter.

The more consistent the athlete is with check-ins, the better I can coach them.

Parents are asked to help support this habit, especially with younger athletes, until it becomes part of the athlete’s routine.

Hydration is a basic part of being prepared to train and play at a high level. It affects energy, focus, reaction, performance, recovery, and safety.

Please make sure your athlete has water with them before training begins. While I will always support athletes and help guide them, showing up prepared is part of the process.

Athletes are expected to fuel their bodies properly before training.

This does not mean eating perfectly. It means understanding that food matters.

My priority is always health first and performance second. Athletes should not arrive to training on an empty stomach. They need enough fuel to train well, stay focused, recover, and feel good.

If your athlete is unsure what to eat or when to eat before training, practices or games, I am happy to provide resources and education.

A large part of your athlete’s success will depend on getting enough quality sleep.

Training matters. Effort matters. Consistency matters. Recovery is where their repair and growth happens.

If an athlete is not sleeping enough, it can impact their energy, mood, focus, confidence, recovery, and performance as well as injury resistance.

I do not expect perfection. I understand that school, homework, practices, games, tournaments, and life can make schedules difficult. But sleep needs to be treated as an important part of the training process, not an afterthought.

Good communication helps everything work better.

If there is an injury, illness, schedule conflict, tournament weekend, school stress, lack of sleep, soreness, or anything else that may impact training, please communicate that as early as possible.

This also includes outside training, team practices, extra skills sessions, tournaments, camps, showcases, or additional workouts.

The more I understand what your athlete is doing outside of our private training sessions, the better I can coach them. Too much training, not enough recovery, or overlapping physical demands can impact performance, confidence, and health.

This does not mean your athlete cannot do other training or practices. It simply means I need to know what their overall workload looks like so I can adjust when needed and support them the right way.

Athletes are expected to show up ready to work, learn, and be coached.

It does not mean they need to have a great day every day. Some days athletes are tired, frustrated, sore, nervous, distracted, or low on confidence.

That is normal.

But they are expected to bring effort, respect, and a willingness to improve.

My job is to meet them where they are and help them move forward. Their job is to show up and give me the best they have that day.

Parents play a major role in the success of the training process. Your support, encouragement, communication, and consistency matter.

Private training works best when the athlete, parent, and coach are all on the same page. My goal is always to support the athlete in a way that builds confidence, ownership, resilience, and long-term development.

By agreeing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to all of the policies, expectations, and responsibilities outlined above.

I understand that these expectations apply to both in-person and remote/online private training sessions.

I understand that these expectations are in place to create a consistent, respectful, and effective training environment for my athlete.
