Youth sports have become an intense pressure cooker for both kids and parents. Kirsten’s unique perspective as a former Division I athlete, 15-year Nike executive, and peak performance coach helps families balance high achievement with lasting mental well-being and joy.
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, the expert-informed AI relies on Kirsten's authorized wisdom to help parents navigate athletic pressure, performance stress, and sports dynamics from an educational, coaching perspective.
In HumanUp, the AI guidance based on the authorized wisdom of Kirsten Jones 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.
