About Tammy
The Call that Changed Everything.
And Launched Peak Play.
My son was screaming through the phone, trying to get help for his teammate’s life or death crisis — navigating it all by himself.
Eventually, EIGHT players were hospitalized or diagnosed with “Rhabdo”—a severe condition that can cause permanent kidney damage. Or death.
Can you imagine? These kids, who had sacrificed everything to reach this elite level, saw their dreams vanish in an instant. It wasn’t just a wake-up call. It was a five-alarm fire.
As a mother who always prided herself on being her child’s fiercest protector, I was devastated. Despite all my efforts, we were living a nightmare I never saw coming.
I do not want to see that happen again. To anyone else.
Which is why I created Peak Play.
- I will be launching a membership, Triumph Club which will provide all the advice I wish I had while navigating my sons’ highly competitive athletic careers. Plus, the parent-to-parent support I was missing.
- The Peak Performance Playbook (it’s free!) has our secrets to impressing coaches and hitting those dream goals in partnership with your student athlete.
- And, last but not least, I am building a free Peak Parents Community and Resource centre so, together, we become an unstoppable force fighting for the rights of our student athletes.

My Mission
I founded Peak Play to help parents find the one-of-a-kind, right-size path for their student-athletes while avoiding the dangers in student sports.
I’m putting all my hard earned knowledge into courses and workshops and free resources for you!
As part of my mission to protect student athletes, I also advocate for safety legislation.
