A student-athlete experience to succeed in school AND in sports - with personalized one-one-one support.
If you or your student-athlete is juggling school, practices, games, travel, and a life outside of all that, it can feel like they're always "on," but somehow still behind. The CHAMPs System was built for student-athletes who want tools, not lectures - a clear way to plan, study, and manage their time and energy, instead of just being told to "work harder."
Over 6 weeks, through six CHAMPs phases, weekly 1:1 coaching, Sunday "Win-the-Week" planning sessions, and ongoing support, your student-athlete will build a practical system around their academics and sport - step by step - so school feels less chaotic and they can show up as the student-athlete they actually want to be.
What student-athletes will get out of this program:
Organization and Time Management:
Build clear systems to plan their week, track deadlines, and balance practices, games, schoolwork, and rest - without constant scrambling.
Stronger Study Skills and Habits:
Learn how to take and make notes, use active recall, and run focused study blocks so they can "study less and learn more," even during busy weeks.
Mindful Accountability:
Use reflection and simple mindfulness tools to take ownership of their choices, see mistakes as data (not failure), and adjust instead of shutting down.
An Empowered Learning Mindset:
Develop a "I can figure this out," approach, grounded in their WHY and the kind of student-athlete they are choosing to be.
In real life, the CHAMPs System looks like:
⚖️ A weekly schedule that balances training, competitions, schoolwork, and recovery instead of guessing day-to-day.
📝🗓️ A simple agenda and task system that works with their actual season and school demands.
🪑 Study spaces (home, school, travel) that are set up for focus, not distraction, so thinking is the hardest part - not finding papers or fighting with their phone.
🎯 Clear goals and intentions that connect what happens in the classroom to what they want in their sport.
✏️ Note-taking and study strategies fit how their brain actually learns, not just more hours of reading and re-reading.
🧠 “Study less, learn more” strategies using active recall and focused study blocks.
😌 Mindset and reset tools they can use when they feel behind, stressed, or tempted to procrastinate.

Length: 6 weeks
Format: 1:1 coaching + phases-based curriculum + community support
When you enroll, your student-athlete gets:
Weekly 1:1 Coaching (Zoom)
One private call during each phase to review progress, talk through challenges, and create action steps that fit their real schedule, sport, and goals.
The full CHAMPs System phases (0-5)
The program is organized into six phases, and each phase is broken into 4-5 clear parts. Each part is explained step by step inside the workbook with reflections, activities, and guided tasks, and each part also has an accompanying video lesson inside Podia so your student-athlete can learn the concept and then apply it right away.
Sunday “Win-the-Week” Planning Sessions (Zoom)
A weekly planning session to reflect on what worked, what didn't, and map out the week ahead so they are not starting Monday feeling behind.
Ongoing Support via Email and Text
Support between sessions so your student-athlete is not left trying to figure it out alone between sessions.
Access to the CHAMPs Community
Weekly theme group coaching calls, study hours, and office hours where student-athletes can work alongside others, ask questions, and stay accountable.
This means your student-athlete is supported through every phase with a workbook, videos, coaching, and real-life accountability - not just information, but a system they can actually use.
Many student-athletes come into CHAMPs:
Struggling to manage time between practices, games, schoolwork, and personal life - leading to missed assignments, rushed studying, and a constant sense of scrambling.
Feeling overwhelmed by the dual demands of athletic training and academics, creating stress, fatigue, and self-doubt.
Forgetting key materials for study time or travel, wasting the few good windows they have to get things done.
Having a hard time balancing recovery and rest with academic responsibilities, affecting performance in both areas.
Avoid communication with teachers or coaches about conflicts, and just hoping things work out.
Lacking study strategies that still work when they're physically tired or mentally drained after training or competition.
After working through the CHAMPs phases with 1:1 support, student-athletes:
Use a realistic weekly plan to manage sport, school, and life, with fewer last-minute scrambles.
Handle training and coursework more effectively, leading to less stress and exhaustion.
Show up prepared with the right materials and a plan, whether they're at home, at school, at practice, or on the road.
Intentionally balance recovery and academic responsibilities, supporting sharper focus and better performance.
Turn travel time and downtime into small, productive pockets of schoolwork.
Communicate with teachers and coaches in a clear, confident way about schedules and support.
Feel more in control of their responsibilities, with less stress and more confidence - using systems they can keep long after the 6 weeks are over.
Here is a breakdown of what student-athletes will gain week-to-week.
Phase 0: Preparation
Before we touch phones, binders, or schedules, we start with who they are becoming and why this matters. They clarify their WHY, define the kind of student-athlete they choose to be, and set key mindsets like "trust the process" and "mistakes = data, not failure."
Phase 1: Set-Up
Turn inner decisions into outer systems. They clean up their digital world, design a study environment that supports focus, organize binders and files, and build a term schedule that show exactly where their time goes.
Phase 2: Clarity
Get clear on how learning actually works and their role in it. They see where note-taking, reviewing, studying fit into the learning process and start building a note-making routine that supports real understanding.
Phase 3: Planning & Time Management
Build the planning tools and habits that turn goals into a realistic path: agenda, task system, Win-the-Week routine, Daily Top 3, and basic prioritization so they know what to do first, next, and later.
Phase 4: Get It Done
Practice using the system in real life. They use environmental rituals, self-talk, Daily Top 3, study blocks, and procrastination tools to actually start, keep going, and finish work - even on tough days.
Phase 5: Skill Mastery + Next Steps
Now that the foundation is in place, your student-athlete gets access to deeper-dive toolkits to strengthen specific skills inside the CHAMPs portal. Together, we will also choose one Skill Mastery Toolkit to focus on based on their biggest need right now, so they know exactly where to start.
When you sign up for the CHAMPs System 6-week 1:1 Coaching Program, your student-athlete gets:
🧰 All 6 CHAMPs Phases (0-5), with workbook lessons, guided activities, and video teaching for each part.
💻 6 private 1:1 zoom coaching sessions, with personalized support through each phase.
📅 Weekly Sunday Win-the-Week planning sessions to reset, reflect, and prepare for the week ahead.

I'm excited to be your CHAMPs coach. With over 23 years of experience as an educator and as a mom of two elite athletes, I understand what it's like to live inside a student-athlete schedule - early practices, late games, travel, missed classes, and the pressure to perform in both spaces.
I created the CHAMPs System because I kept seeing the same gap: schools expect student-athletes to know how to plan, study communicate, and manage their time, but no one actually teaches those skills in a clear, step-by-step way. CHAMPs is my way of giving them the tools, language, and support I wish every student-athlete had.
My approach is honest, supportive, and practical. I'll guide your student-athlete in mastering essential skills and mindset strategies so they can feel more organized, confident, and in control - one habit, one system, one next step at a time.
The CHAMPs System is a strong fit if your student-athlete:
Is struggling to balance school demands with a serious training and competition schedule.
Often feels overwhelmed by deadlines, expectations, and a busy calendar.
Wants to be more organized, but hasn't yet found a system that actually sticks.
Is open to trying new tools, reflecting honestly, and taking ownership of their time and learning.
Would benefit from structured, expert support that is personalized to them - not a one-size-fits-all program or generic advice.
You want them to have tools they can carry into future seasons, grades, levels - not just a quick fix.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
The CHAMPs System is designed for student-athletes who are serious about their sport and want more structure, support, and skills to manage school, sport, and life. It's a good fit for students who feel overwhelmed, disorganized, or like they're working hard but not seeing that effort show up in their results.
Most student-athletes spend about 60-90 minutes per week on CHAMPs: one coaching call, the Sunday Win-the-Week planning session, and workbook/video time. The goal is to integrate CHAMPs into the time they already have, not pile on a whole extra course.
Each 1:1 coaching call focuses on the current phase: we review the workbook pages they've looked at, talk through what's actually happening in their schedule, and choose 1-3 realistic action steps for the week. Calls are practical and supportive, not lectures or "you should try harder" conversations. At the end, we will book a time for a zoom check-in as a follow-up.
Parents do not have to attend sessions, but are welcome to stay informed and involved. You are welcome to join the Podia platform which enables you to see the video lessons and activities. During each phase, I also send out a one-page "Parent Playbook" that explains what we're focusing on, what you might notice at home, and simple ways you can support your student-athlete. Some families like a brief check-in at the start and/or at the end of the program; others prefer occasional email updates. Your main role is to encourage your student-athlete to show up, try the tools, and talk openly about what's working.
CHAMPs exists because student-athletes are busy. The system is build to reduce chaos, not add to it. We start by looking at their schedule, then use the phases to create a simpler structure around what's already there so they can feel less overwhelemd, not more.
Life happens. If they need to miss a scheduled 1:1 call or the Sunday group planning session, we will reschedule the 1:1 and they will have access to the planning framework so they can still reset their week. I ask for as much notice as possible so we can keep them on track.
No. CHAMPs does not replace subject tutoring or technical coaching in their sport. It sits alongside those supports. We focus on systems, habits, planning, study skills, and mindset so that tutoring, practice, and all their effort work better together.
Many student-athletes come into CHAMPs feeling tired, discouraged, or stuck. We don't wait for perfect motivation. Instead, we work on small wins, simple tools, and a clearer WHY so they can start to feel more in control and see progress again.
No. CHAMPs works for student-athletes in many sports and at different levels, because the core skills - organization, time management, study skills, communication, and mindset - are universal. What changes is how we apply those tools to their schedule and season.
At the end of CHAMPs, your student-athlete completes a final self-assessment and reflection so they can see what has changed and what they want to keep working on. From there, they can continue using the systems on their own, or, if it's a good fit, we can talk about ongoing coaching pathways: continue with 1:1 support, or participate in the membership pathway.
