OUT OF THE SETTEE
NO ONE TEACHES PARENTS HOW TO HANDLE THE PRESSURE
UNTIL NOW.
Out of the Settee shows you how to support your competitive bowler without adding pressure so they can bowl with joy, confidence, and freedom.
You love your bowler. But sometimes, that love feels heavy.
You watch them struggle, and your chest tightens.
You want to help, but you don't know what to say.
You see other parents coaching from the stands, and you wonder: Am I doing enough?
And in the car ride home after a rough block, the silence feels thick because you're afraid that anything you say will make it worse.
You're not failing.
You're just missing the manual.
Out of the Settee is the guide no one gave you-
for the moments no one talks about.

What Parents Are Saying
Out of the Settee is everything I’ve needed to hear as a parent, and I’m confident it will do wonders for others.
Ryan Strode
Parent of Junior Gold Bowler
Out of the Settee is a powerful tool for any parent of a competitive athlete, especially if you weren’t an athlete yourself. Diandra’s mindful approach to handling pressure was an eye-opener for me. I’m not too proud to admit there are tough conversations I regret. This book gave me the tools to handle both the hard moments and the good ones with more grace, support, and love.
Jodi Mann
Parent of Junior Gold Bowler
"I used to think I was helping by giving my son tips in the car. After reading this, I realized I was adding pressure. The scripts alone changed our entire relationship during tournaments."

Who Wrote This?
I'm Diandra
a world champion bowler, a member of 3 Hall of Fames and
a mindset coach for competitive bowlers.
I've worked with youth bowlers at every level from kids just starting out
to Junior Gold champions. I've seen the best and worst of youth sports parenting.
And I've learned this: The difference between a child who thrives and
a child who quits is almost never talent. It's the environment their
parents create.
This playbook is everything I wish I could tell every parent sitting in the
stands, gripping their coffee, wondering if they're doing this right.
You are. And this will help you do it even better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.1: Is this only for parents of elite bowlers?
A: No. This is for any parent whose child competes—whether that's local youth leagues, state tournaments, or Junior Gold. If your child cares about bowling and you want to support them well, this is for you.
Q.2: I don't know anything about bowling. Will this still help?
A: Absolutely. This isn't about technique or lane play. It's about emotional support, identity protection, and nervous system regulation. You don't need to know bowling—you just need to love your child.
Q.3: What if my child is older (high school or college)?
A: The principles work at any age. The language might shift slightly for older athletes, but the core truths about presence, identity, and pressure remain the same.
Q.4: Is this a physical book or digital?
A: This is a digital PDF, delivered instantly after purchase. You can read it on any device or print it out.
Q.5: What if I've already made mistakes?
A: Chapter 12 is written specifically for you. Repair is always possible. You haven't messed this up—you're just learning. And so is your child.
Q.6: Can I share this with my spouse or co-parent?
A: Yes! One purchase = access for your household.
Your bowler doesn't need you to be perfect.
They just need you to be present.
This is where you learn to stay grounded.
The next tournament is coming.
The next car ride is coming.
The next hard block is coming.
You can show up the way you’ve always shown up — caring deeply, unsure what to say at times.
Or you can show up having learned a few new ways to be steady, grounded, and clear with the people you love.
