Role clarity for families

Families are most effective when they support structure, timing, and communication quality.

High-impact support actions

Focus on these actions each month:

  • Help maintain updated profile data and video links.
  • Track outreach follow-ups and response status.
  • Protect academic eligibility as a non-negotiable priority.

Communication principles

Family communication should reinforce the athlete narrative, not replace the athlete voice.

Decision support

Use structured criteria to compare opportunities: role fit, development environment, and long-term progression.
