Founder/Content Creator
Brian Gotta is the founder and President of CoachDeck (www.CoachDeck.com), the most popular youth sports training tool in North America. He is also founder of Upstart Sports (www.UpstartSports.com) and SAFE Baseball (www.SAFEBaseball.com), and has written multiple sports-related books available at www.BooksByGotta.com.

Brian has coached over 50 youth teams as a parent-volunteer and watched all four of his children navigate the highs and lows of club and high school sports — all four went on to play in college, and three played or play professionally. Over the past decade he has served as an informal counselor to countless parents navigating their children's athletic challenges. It is from those conversations, and from his own experiences as a coach and a dad, that Supportive Parent was born.
