At Onward and Upward Coaching, our concerns are the same as yours. We want your son or daughter to succeed on every level and develop into productive, happy adults.

Many parents have equated coaching with an insurance policy. Like any other large investment, such as your home or your car, an insurance policy gives you peace of mind that your exposure to risk of something going wrong is greatly reduced. Your children’s college career may be the second largest investment you will make, next to your home; and it, too is not without an element of risk. Coaching has been found to reduce if not completely eliminate the chances of your child not graduating or wasting large amounts of valuable resources such as money and time making wrong choices on the way to pursuing a degree.
In fact, this is how coaching pays! It pays directly in terms of tuition, expenses and time saved because your child at the outset made the right choices.
Another way coaching pays is in your child’s increased earning potential that will result from a greater college record and fully developed marketable skills that will make them irresistible to top employers.
During the last few years, your focus was, and rightfully so, getting your child accepted into college. Now that your child has secured entry, the focus should shift to how you can help your son or daughter make the best of this opportunity. The bottom line is you are investing tens of thousands of dollars and you expect a lot in return. In having your child coached during the critical first few years of their college career, you will greatly increase the chances of realizing a positive return on your investment and help offset the feelings of anxiety, nervousness, doubt and helplessness that you may experience during this time of transition.
By hiring a coach, you are sending a message to your child that you are determined to do everything possible to make their college career work for them and that they don’t become a statistic. Further, it will give you that peace of mind in knowing you have a professional in your child’s corner, an additional asset looking after them that in turn, should make it a lot easier for you to let them grow up.

“But history will judge you, and as the years pass, you will ultimately judge yourself, in the extent to which you have used your gifts and talents to lighten and enrich the lives of your fellow men. In your hands lies the future of your world and the fulfillment of the best qualities of your own spirit.” - Robert F. Kennedy
