In today’s episode of BookTrib On Demand, we visited with U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team World Cup Champion, Team Captain, three-time Olympic gold medalist, mom and coach Christie Pearce Rampone and sports neuropsychologist Dr. Kristine Keane to chat about their upcoming book, Be All In: Raising Kids for Success in Sports and Life. If you missed it, you can watch it anytime, on-demand on Facebook.
Be All In is designed for parents and coaches to raise young athletes who turn good sportsmanship into lifelong skills, balancing competitiveness, confidence, and compassion. Christie Pearce Rampone’s success on the field, and Dr. Keane’s studies in the field, combine to create a powerful fusion of science-backed theory and practice creates a priceless and refreshing view of sports, and how we can guide the youth sports experiences to create champions in sports and in life.
The book details how to create realistic expectations for kids, set them up for success in all aspects of their life, improve game-day performance and reduce the stress of dealing with coaches, parents and losses. Readers are provided with multiple real-life stories about Rampone’s rise to becoming one of the world’s greatest leaders in international soccer. Her stories are underscored by neuropsychological principles and clinical vignettes from Dr. Keane that assist readers in understanding and developing the mind, heart, body connection that is often lost in youth sports today.
We hope you’ll join us!
