- Book 5 of 5: Flow Mental Performance & Skills System (MPSS). How to Maximize Your Mental Game For Volleyball Players:
The MPSS Parent Manual
Whether you are a parent of a volleyball athlete or any other type of athlete, there is a moment parent knows.
Your athlete gets into the car after practice or a match, and something feels different. Maybe she is unusually quiet. Maybe he is frustrated. You want to help, but you're not sure what your child needs most.
The MPSS Parent Manual was written for that moment. The Parents workbook is fully supported by the Flow-MPCC website www.flowmpcc.com, which has free meditation downloads, the SMARTSTATS app, free training materials, and a resident MPSS AI that gives you access to the entire MPSS knowledge base.
Grounded in developmental psychology, clinical science, and more than twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, schools, and athletes, this book introduces parents to the Mental Performance & Skills System (MPSS)—a practical framework for understanding how young athletes grow under pressure.
Rather than offering quick fixes or sideline advice, MPSS begins with a different question:
How do we create the environmental conditions that help young athletes thrive?
Parents cannot control playing time, wins and losses, coaches, or recruiting decisions. They can, however, profoundly influence the emotional climate in which development unfolds. Through practical skills, relatable examples, and an accessible understanding of the science behind performance, this manual helps parents become a steady source of regulation, perspective, and support throughout their athlete's journey.
Inside you'll learn how to:
-
Understand what happens to athletes under pressure.
-
Recognize common developmental and emotional challenges.
-
Support confidence without increasing pressure.
-
Navigate setbacks, playing time, recruiting, and uncertainty.
-
Create an environment that promotes resilience, recovery, and long-term growth.
-
Strengthen the relationship that matters long after the final whistle.
The Parent Manual is one part of the larger Mental Performance & Skills System (MPSS), which also includes companion manuals for coaches and athletes, a visual atlas, and a pocket guide. Together, these resources provide a shared language and practical framework that helps coaches, parents, and athletes work together to support healthy development and sustained performance.
Whether your child plays school volleyball, club volleyball, or both, The MPSS Parent Manual offers an evidence-informed, compassionate guide for helping young athletes grow—not only as volleyball players, but as people.
