👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre — a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a former head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion.

🎙 Today's guest is Fareedah Shaheed, aka CyberFareedah, a Forbes 30 Under 30 internet safety expert who was groomed online as a teenager and built the SAFE Method to help other families avoid what she went through.

Fareedah walks through exactly what a stranger can find when they search your athlete's name, and why recruiting makes her more visible online than most kids her age. She also shares the exact conversation her mom had with her that changed everything, and why reacting with fear almost always backfires.

She breaks down her SAFE Method (Safe spaces, Accountability, Fun, Empathy) and gives three specific moves you can make tonight to protect what's public without hiding her talent or pulling her offline.

What You'll Learn:
✅ What actually shows up when someone searches your athlete's name
✅ Three specific ways to protect her online without going private or pulling her offline
✅ Why a fearful reaction pushes your daughter to hide more, not less
✅ The SAFE Method: Safe spaces, Accountability, Fun, Empathy
✅ The exact script for introducing phone check-ins without triggering secrecy

💬 Moms — comment below: Have you ever searched your own daughter's name to see what actually shows up?

P.S. A few stats worth knowing:

More than 300 million children a year are victims of online sexual exploitation and abuse worldwide. (Childlight Global Child Safety Institute, University of Edinburgh, 2024)

Online enticement reports to NCMEC's CyberTipline rose to more than 546,000 in 2024, a 192% increase over 2023. (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, 2025)

1 in 17 minors report having personally experienced sextortion. (Thorn & NCMEC, 2024)

The Raising Elite Competitors podcast and YouTube channel is hosted by The Elite Competitor and is dedicated to helping sports moms strengthen their daughter's mental game and confidence in order to help her perform her best when it matters most.
