Youth sports can build confidence, resilience, and connection, but they can also become a source of pressure for kids and parents alike. Kirsten Jones helps parents support young athletes in ways that protect the relationship, keep the child’s experience at the center, and make room for both ambition and enjoyment.
Kirsten Jones helps families navigate youth sports with confidence, balance, and perspective. A former Division I athlete and performance coach, she focuses on healthy motivation, resilience, and keeping sport joyful while building life skills that last off the field, too.
In HumanUp, guidance draws on Kirsten's expertise and authorized content to help parents navigate athletic pressure, performance stress, and sports dynamics from an educational, coaching perspective.
In HumanUp, the AI guidance grounded in Kirsten Jones's expertise and authorized content is educational and performance-coaching only. It does not provide clinical sports psychology, therapy, or medical advice. This is not a substitute for a licensed sports psychologist or medical professional.
To keep guidance safe and non-clinical, the AI will not act as a sports psychologist or medical professional.
If your child is experiencing severe mental health distress, an eating disorder, or a physical injury, the AI guide will encourage you to contact a licensed sports psychologist, pediatrician, or appropriate medical provider.
Kirsten offers workshops and keynotes for leagues, schools, and parent groups on confidence, pressure, and healthy motivation in youth sports.
