Where Duty of Care Meets Performance Integrity
Where Duty of Care Meets Performance Integrity
You’re not just managing a young person.
You’re carrying their story, their setbacks, their safety plans, and often—everyone’s expectations.
And when that young person is also an athlete?
The stakes double.
One side wants compliance. The other demands performance.
And somewhere in the middle, you’re trying to hold it all together.
We see you.
At In My Kingdom, we specialise in trauma-informed systems designed for athletes in care, youth under supervision, and the carers, caseworkers, and clinicians who support them.
This isn’t just training. It’s transformation through structured care, sport-specific understanding, and systems that prevent escalation before it begins.
The Gaps We Fill
We support you when:
-
Behaviour escalates in elite sport environments
-
Young people breach curfews, disappear, or emotionally shut down
-
Clubs report "attitude," "inconsistency," or "non-compliance"
-
You’re stuck between court orders and game schedules
-
Carers are burnt out from emotional load
-
Staff or carers don’t know how to talk to coaches or vice versa
“Sport is a protective factor” only works if the system doesn’t trigger the trauma.
What We Provide
1. Trauma-Informed Coaching Supervision
Fortnightly or monthly 1:1s and small group supervision for your coaching staff, based on live case dynamics.
Includes co-regulation support, language reframes, athlete state mapping, and nervous system resets for your team.
2. Athlete Regulation Plans (Sport + Care Combined)
Integrated routines, escalation maps, language cues, and stabilisation scripts
Built for carers, coaches, and key workers to implement together.
3. Therapeutic Care Through Sport Consultation
We audit the training and living environment through a trauma + performance lens.
We advise on sleep routines, food regulation, triggers, pressure windows, and safety anchors.
4. Athlete Behaviour Response Plans
For DCJ-impacted, ACE-affected, or emotionally dysregulated athletes.
Customised regulation scripts, routines, and escalation flowcharts for clubs.
5. Club Collaboration Liaison
We bridge DCJ professionals with clubs—ensuring the athlete’s plan and the program’s culture align.
Less conflict. More trust. Better athlete outcomes.
6. Transition Support (Crisis or Opportunity)
Moving homes, reuniting with family, entering elite boarding, or navigating new carers?
We provide wrap-around planning so athletes don’t unravel mid-transition.
7. Culture Design. From Rules to Regulate
We audit your training environment through the trauma lens: routines, tone, triggers, power imbalances, recovery windows, and social safety protocols for carers.
8. DCJ & High-Risk Athlete Integration Support
We consult on club onboarding, carer alignment, and athlete supervision strategy when working with youth in care or under legal orders.
What Makes This Different
Most trauma-informed training is designed for crisis management or school settings.
You need something that understands:
-
How pressure works in elite sport
-
How the nervous system collapses mid-game
-
How to stabilise youth who can’t name their emotions
-
How to work with clubs, not against them
-
How to advocate for athletes without losing court compliance
We deliver precision tools, not just theory.
Everything we teach is usable on the sidelines, in the car, or during a shutdown.
