Athlete Parents: 3 Problems the Elite Youth Journal Solves—and How to Start This Summer

Summer is the perfect time to reset—not just physically, but mentally.

If you’re raising a competitive athlete, you already know the grind doesn’t stop in the off-season. But too often, we focus on the training schedule and forget the mindset, discipline, and reflection that actually create long-term success.

That’s why I created the Elite Youth Journal—a tool designed to help young athletes grow on and off the field, track, or mat.

3 Real Problems the Journal Solves:

1. Lack of Focus

Athletes sometimes go through the motions at practice. This journal builds mental engagement through weekly goals, prompts, and Scripture that realigns purpose with training.

2. Confidence Dips

Losses happen. So do off days. But with daily affirmations and guided reflection, kids learn to bounce back with a faith-filled, growth-minded attitude.

3. No Clear Progress Markers

Without tracking goals or reflecting on what’s working, progress stalls. The journal includes training logs, mental checkpoints, and space to measure how they’re growing—not just in skill, but in character.

How to Start Using It This Summer:

• Grab the journal (available on Amazon through C.Brax Designs

• Pick a reset day each week to reflect, write, and check goals

• Involve your athlete—this works best when it becomes their tool, not just another task

Whether your child is prepping for state, nationals, or just building a strong season foundation, the Elite Youth Journal helps them show up with purpose.

Let’s raise grounded, driven, faith-fueled athletes—starting this summer.

With purpose,
