Before Annie Sanders could take her first steps, her mom already put her on a climbing wall.

🧗 Annie Sanders | Sport Climbing • 4× Youth World Champion 

At 10 months old, Annie Sanders crawled away from her toys and toward the climbing wall. Instead of carrying her back, her mother found a harness small enough to fit her.
For years, Annie’s mother coached her while her father solved a different problem.

When they realized Annie needed international experience to compete with Europe’s best, they found a way to spend four months overseas, even though it meant finding $40,000 they didn’t have.

One parent built the climber. The other built the opportunity.

⁉️ Does everyone in your family know the role they’re playing in your child’s dream? ⁉️

👩‍🔬 I spent years decoding what 100 elite athlete parents actually did. The uncomfortable truth about how athletes get made.

🏘️🌴 It takes a strategic village to raise an athlete. This is your village. 🥇
