developed from their previous
sports programming business,
Dubezone, that inspired the
couple to create Elite Method.
“In that time, working with
thousands of children I learned
a tremendous amount about
what makes some kids successful
and leaves others struggling. It
became clear that helping a
child develop sports skills was
wonderful and important, but it
didn’t address the core issue of
boosting a child’s confidence
and helping them navigate
depression, as well as
improving mood and other

an often confusing world.
Confidence is what gives kids
the ability to feel good in their
own skin and to want to make
their mark on this world. I was
determined to create a program
that combined both fundamental
sports skills training with a social/
emotional component that
would allow children to develop
their social skills and confidence.

the ‘inside’ and the ‘outside,”says
Rachel.
Finding the right coaches is an
elaborate process with several
screening levels -- including an
extensive background check and
review of how they interact with
children.
