We’re Joel & Jamie—founders of RunnerParent, and more importantly, parents just like you.
Most parents of runners know they play a crucial role in their child’s success—but very few know how to lead with balance, clarity, and connection.
We didn’t either—at first.
Like many, we fell into what we now call Podium Parenting—a well-meaning but misguided mindset that focuses on short-term wins instead of long-term growth.
​Some of the most common traps include:

If you’ve made these mistakes, you’re not alone—we’ve been there too.
But everything changed when we embraced a new approach.
We call it the Victory in Every Step™ framework.

Over the past 12 years—with all four of our children—we’ve lived it, refined it, and shared it with others.
It’s helped our kids chase elite running dreams and grow as people.
It’s helped us grow too—into more grounded, connected, and courageous parents.

Now, we’re inviting you into the same journey.
Not just to fuel your child’s athletic potential—but to unlock your family’s legacy.
To become a RunnerParent is to grow with your runner, not just cheer from the sidelines.

This is your invitation.
Let’s take the next step—together.

With belief,
Joel & Jamie Hundley
​Founders, RunnerParent™
