WHEN: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH AT 12PM EST
Join us along with Anthony Brenner, Soccer Coach, Former Professional Athlete & Holistic Life Coach, for a powerful discussion on the impact of parental energy, reactions, and intentions in shaping a young athlete’s passion for soccer.
This webinar explores how your emotions—whether excitement, frustration, or anxiety—affect your child’s daily experience and long-term relationship with the game. We’ll dive into the ways children mirror their parents’ words and body language, influencing their confidence and self-identity, and discuss strategies for providing feedback that fosters resilience.
Learn how to balance encouragement with acceptance, ensuring your child feels valued beyond their performance. Finally, we’ll examine the importance of trust—allowing your child to develop their own connection to the sport, embrace challenges, and grow with confidence.
More About Anthony Brenner
Anthony Brenner is a seasoned soccer coach, holistic life coach, and meditation and mindfulness teacher based in Raleigh, North Carolina. His athletic journey began at age eight as a soccer player, but it wasn’t until high school that he discovered his innate ability to kick American football. This led to a standout career as a field goal kicker at East Carolina University, contributing to the team’s victory in the 1991 Peach Bowl. After college, Anthony played professionally in the Arena Football League, where he helped the Arizona Rattlers secure a world championship.
While his football career was successful, Anthony’s true passion has always been soccer. Over the last 33 years, he has coached in virtually every capacity—from club and high school teams to Division I and semi-professional ranks. However, about 13 years ago, after discovering a traumatic brain injury resulting from a devastating neck injury during his football career, Anthony embarked on a profound spiritual journey. This path led him to meditation, mindfulness teacher training, and ultimately to a certification as a holistic life coach.
Today, Anthony mentors players in 11 states and 5 countries, from U12 to professional levels. His coaching philosophy integrates the wisdom he’s gained from his own athletic training, personal experiences, and deep personal and family trauma. He places a strong emphasis on supporting the mental and emotional well-being of athletes and parents, helping them navigate the pressures of elite sports with mindfulness and holistic development.
