Book a real person. Build a relationship across the season.
Some questions deserve a person on the other end of the camera. Pivot Mentoring puts vetted coaches, sport psychologists and pathway mentors on your calendar — one-off, monthly, or in a small room of other parents working the same problem.

The bench
Who you can book.
A small rotating bench. We don’t add a mentor until we know they’ll write back the way we’d want a friend to.

Small-group seminars
Twenty parents. One topic. Ninety minutes.
Once a month a mentor takes a single topic deep — the bench week, the academy offer letter, the Bambi-phase growth spurt, the agent meeting. Capped at twenty so the questions stay real. Live on Zoom, recorded for Members.
Included in The Member and above. Drop-in seats open one week before each seminar.
