ABOUT ELEVATE CONSULTING

Developing the Athlete. Building the Person. Creating the Path.

Elevate Consulting was created from a simple belief:

Young athletes deserve more than a focus on their next team, tournament, or achievement. They deserve guidance that helps them understand themselves, develop with purpose, and take ownership of their journey.

Youth sports can be exciting and rewarding, but they can also be difficult to navigate. Athletes and families are often faced with decisions about teams, training, competition, academics, and future opportunities — without always knowing what is best for the individual athlete.

Elevate brings clarity to that process.

We work with athletes and families to understand where the athlete is today, where they want to go, and what they need to do next.

Our approach looks at the whole athlete — athletic development, academics, confidence, mindset, goals, environment, and future aspirations.

Our Philosophy

We don't believe there is one perfect path for every athlete.

The right path depends on the individual.

Our goal is not simply to help an athlete reach the next level. It is to help them develop the skills, confidence, self-awareness, and decision-making abilities they need to navigate whatever comes next.

The athlete owns the journey.
The family provides support.
Elevate provides perspective, structure, and guidance.

Meet Britt Klein Flath

Elevate Consulting is founded by Britt Klein Flath, a former professional athlete, youth coach, and higher education mentor.

Britt has experienced the athlete journey from multiple perspectives — as a competitor, coach, mentor, and advisor.

That experience shaped her belief that young athletes need more than someone telling them what to do.

They need someone who can listen, ask the right questions, provide perspective, and help them create a plan.

Britt's approach is centered on helping athletes become more confident, thoughtful, and intentional about their development — while helping parents understand how to support without taking over.

What We Believe

Development over destination.
The goal isn't simply the next team or achievement. It's continued growth.

The whole athlete matters.
Athletic development, academics, mindset, confidence, and character are connected.

Athletes should have a voice.
Young athletes should increasingly understand and own their goals and decisions.

There is no one-size-fits-all path.
What is right for one athlete may not be right for another.

Parents need support, too.
Parents shouldn't have to figure out every youth sports decision on their own.

The next step matters.
Athletes don't need to have their entire future figured out. They need to know what matters most right now.

Our Mission

To help young athletes develop with purpose, make thoughtful decisions, and take ownership of their journey — on the field, in the classroom, and beyond.

Your Athlete. Your Journey. Your Potential.
