Are you wondering how to help your student athlete thrive both on the field and in the classroom? Concerned about preventing burnout, injury, and academic struggles while they pursue their athletic passions?

At Green Ivy Educational Consulting, we've spent 25 years helping students develop the organizational skills and self-awareness they need to succeed. In this informative session, we'll explore how student athletes can build essential executive functioning skills to manage their demanding schedules while protecting their health, sleep, and long-term well-being.

Join Green Ivy Educational Consulting's Ana Homayoun and Jesse Park as we explore:

Challenge #1: The Overcommitment Trap – Why the year-round, hyper-specialized sports culture is leading to burnout and injury (and what families can do differently)

Challenge #2: Sleep vs. Success – How to prioritize rest and recovery when every hour feels accounted for

Challenge #3: Planning Beyond the Present – Teaching student athletes to organize, prioritize, and protect time for academics, relationships, and downtime

We'll also share insights from the current youth sports landscape, including research on how specialized training without adequate rest increases injury risk, why multi-sport athletes often develop better long-term skills, and the executive functioning strategies that help student athletes manage their complex schedules effectively.

As Ana shared in a recent Boston Globe article: "The professionalization and privatization of youth sports has created an environment where families feel pressured to choose one sport early and commit year-round—often at the expense of sleep, academic success, and overall well-being." We'll discuss how to resist this pressure and help your student athlete develop sustainable habits.

Drawing on our experience supporting student athletes across the globe, including supporting collegiate athletes, we'll provide practical, actionable strategies to help your student build organizational systems, protect their health, and develop the time management skills they'll need for college and beyond.

This session is designed for parents and caregivers of middle school and high school student athletes who want to support their children in achieving balance and long-term success.

The talk is free, though spots are limited. To learn more about Green Ivy Educational Consulting's Executive Functioning Coaching and Academic Support Services, visit greenivyed.com.
