NSAWMF Co-founder, Dr. Jei Pearcey, Talks About Raising Elite Athletes With Jesse & Shavonne Allen in Our Two-Part Interview

In Part One of this two-part series, NSAWMF Co-Founder and Chief Sports Psychologist Dr. Jei Pearcey sits down with Jesse and Shavonne Allen—the parents of Corey Allen, an elite high school basketball player from Corona, California—to explore what it really takes to raise an athlete in today’s high-pressure world of competition, injuries, and social media.


Through their story, you’ll see the power of love, balance, and resilience as the Allens share how they keep their son grounded, focused, and still finding joy in the game.
