SUPPORT FOR FOOTBALL PARENTS
PROMINDSET FOOTBALL PARENT 4-WEEK PROGRAMME
A 4 Week Live Online Programme for Football Parents Who Want to Build Confidence, Resilience and Long-Term Success.
SUPPORTING A YOUNG FOOTBALLER IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS ...
From the outside, it’s just football.
Training. Matches. Development.
But when it’s your child, it feels bigger than that.
You want to support them properly.
You want to say the right thing after games.
You want to help them grow in confidence.
Yet sometimes you leave conversations wondering:
Did I add pressure?
Did I say too much?
Not enough?
Being the parent of a young footballer in the modern game is more demanding than ever.
The five nights a week.
The long drives.
The early mornings and late finishes.
The emotional highs and setbacks.
The intensity of academy and grassroots environments.
It asks more of families now.
And despite the time, effort and commitment parents pour into their child’s journey, very few are ever shown how to navigate it in a way that truly supports long term success both on and off the pitch.
That is where ProMindset Academy comes in.
INTRODUCING THE PROMINDSET PARENT 4-WEEK PROGRAMME
The ProMindset Parent Programme is a live 4 week online experience designed specifically for parents navigating competitive football environments.
This is not generic parenting advice.
It is built around the realities of academy and grassroots football.
Across four structured live sessions, you will learn how to:
• Understand what success really looks like at each stage of development
• Communicate in a way that builds confidence rather than pressure
• Support resilience and emotional control at home
• Respond to setbacks, challenges and mistakes calmly
• Think long term instead of reacting emotionally week to week
Each session is delivered live on Zoom in a small group setting, allowing space for honest discussion, practical frameworks and real football examples.
Because parenting inside football should not feel confusing.
It should feel clear, calm and intentional.
What You'll Learn Across The 4 Weeks
Week 1 - Understanding The Football Journey
• What real success looks like at different stages of development
• How to align your expectations with the realities of modern football
You’ll leave with clarity and a calmer long term perspective.
Week 2 - Communication That Builds Confidence
• How to support without adding pressure
• What to say after games, setbacks and non selection
You’ll gain practical tools you can use immediately.
Week 3 - Supporting Mindset At Home
• How resilience is developed in competitive environments
• How to respond to mistakes and setbacks in a way that builds long-term confidence
You’ll understand how to support your child's mindset and way of thinking on and off the pitch.
Week 4 - Long Term Development & Identity
• How to think longer term in player development
• How to protect identity beyond football
You’ll finish with a clearer vision for both the player and the person.

LED BY EXPERIENCE
James Coppinger
James enjoyed an extraordinary 20-plus year playing career in English football, making over 800 senior appearances and becoming one of the game’s most durable and respected professionals.
Very few players sustain that level of performance for so long. He experienced promotions, relegations, pressure, setbacks and the day-to-day demands of being at the sharp end of competitive football.
Since retiring from playing, James has remained deeply involved in the sport. He has taken on leadership roles including Head of Football Operations and Head of Recruitment, and he is currently a first-team coach at Doncaster Rovers.
James is also a parent. He understands the modern football journey from every angle — in the dressing room, on the training ground, from the stands, and in the car on the way home.
"As well as going through the journey as a player and a coach, I’ve been through it as a parent with my two sons. I’m looking forward to sharing these insights and getting started." - James Coppinger
Lenny Reed
Lenny is a Category 1 Academy Coach and Scout, working within one of the highest levels of youth development in English football.
He has worked directly with hundreds of young players across different age groups, observing the behaviours, habits and environments that help players thrive over time.
Through ProMindset Academy, Lenny specialises in off-field development, focusing on building strong foundations away from the pitch.
He works closely with families to help create stable, supportive environments in an increasingly demanding game.
