Lessons Learned, Brooke de Lench

Speaker Information

As a leading youth sports parenting expert, I help sports mothers, communities and families experience safer, saner, less stressful and more inclusive youth sports lives. My work as an author, speaker, Editor in Chief, spokesperson, and consultant is about providing constructive, practical and forward-thinking advice.

For parents I provide talks that help mothers understand the critical role they can play in putting the words fun, game, and play back into the youth sports culture.

For companies and organizations I am able to provide opportunities for creating deeper connectivity and understanding with sports mothers.
