BROOKE DE LENCH

A leading youth sports parenting expert and founder and editor-in-chief of MomsTeam.com, Brooke de Lench helps sports mothers, communities, and families experience safer, saner, less stressful, and more inclusive youth sports lives. Her work as an author, speaker, editor in chief, and consultant is about providing constructive, practical, and forward-thinking advice.

For parents, de Lench provides 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, de Lench provides opportunities for creating deeper connectivity and understanding with sports mothers.

In Home Team Advantage: The Critical Role of Mothers in Youth Sports, de Lench writes with authority on a wide variety of topics ranging from ensuring playing time, communicating with the coach, and confronting overly competitive parents, to more serious issues like preventing injury, steroid use, and childhood obesity. 

While there are plenty of books that help the best-intentioned parent, most of them are written by men for men. Home Team Advantage is an essential resource manual that inspires women to confidently step onto the out-of-control playground to assume the role they choose: spectator, advocate, administrator, coach, or team mom. Packed with real-life anecdotes and information from experts, Home Team Advantage provides constructive, practical, and forward-thinking advice to help mothers understand the critical role they can play in putting the words fun, game, and play back into youth sports.
