Raising Pro Athletes
Your kid wants to be a pro athlete. Now what?
Behind every pro athlete is a parent who believed first, who showed up, adapted, and refused to quit. Nobody talks about them. Until now.
Raising Pro Athletes decodes what the parents of today's top athletes actually did.
Host Marina Kuperman Villatoro moved her family across the world for her son's rock climbing career and learned the hard truth: the parent is the hidden variable.
Richard Williams drove Serena and Venus to cracked Compton courts at 5 AM, filmed training videos, and mailed them to coaches who laughed. Everyone called him crazy.
We know how that story ended.
Real talk. No playbook. Just parents figuring it out, one episode at a time.
It takes a Strategic Village to Raise an Athlete. This is your village.

Finding the Right Climbing Team: Why You Need to Choose Wisely
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You don't want the coaches to be in awe of your kids because that doesn't really work.
Why is it essential to choose the right climbing team for your child? Selecting the perfect climbing team for your child is crucial if you want to see them soar to new heights. As a parent, it's natural to want the best for your child and to provide them with opportunities to thrive. However, when it comes to climbing, finding the right team is more than just about opportunity - it can make all the difference in your child's growth and success.
