Why I Joined This Journey: Empowering Health and Performance

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and being a parent has been one of the most fulfilling yet challenging experiences of my life. From the moment my children were born, I felt a deep desire to ensure they had every opportunity to thrive—to be healthy, happy, and confident. This led me to become part of NXT Level Sport and Health, a family-owned business dedicated to offering high-quality products that promote sport, health, and wellness. We provide tools designed to support a wide range of needs, from athletes and active individuals to children’s physical development and well-being. One of the driving forces behind my involvement was also to maintain a connection with my sister, who lives on the other side of the world, by building something meaningful together.

Embracing Each Child’s Unique Path

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that children don’t develop according to a single, fixed timeline. They have their own pace, interests, and strengths. For me, this means celebrating every child’s journey, whether they reach milestones quickly or take their time. It’s about creating an environment where they feel valued and encouraged to grow, no matter their path.

Creating Positive Reinforcement Through Practical Tools

As a parent, I understand that promoting healthy habits goes beyond emotional support; it also requires practical solutions. At NXT Level Sport and Health, we focus on creating products that make it easier for families to build positive habits. Our b.box lunchboxes, for example, are designed to help parents pack balanced, nutritious meals in a simple and fun way. When children are presented with appealing, wholesome food, it encourages them to develop positive eating habits naturally.

Physical activity is another area I’m passionate about. When kids run, jump, and play, they not only strengthen their bodies but also develop essential social and emotional skills. Research shows that physical play fosters resilience, confidence, and a sense of teamwork—skills that are crucial for overall well-being. By providing the right equipment, like mouthguards for rugby or Mebo Skin Cream for bumps and bruises, I want to create an environment where kids feel empowered to stay active and explore the activities they love.

Supporting a Balance Between Health and Happiness

I’ve come to realize that promoting health and performance involves more than just physical strength; it’s also about nurturing emotional well-being. By offering products that make it easy for kids to stay active, I hope to promote this connection between physical health and emotional fulfillment.

It’s also important to me to provide tools that help parents strike a balance between structure and flexibility. While routines provide stability, allowing for spontaneity and joy is just as vital. Whether it’s encouraging an afternoon at the park or packing a fun, nutritious lunch, my goal is to support parents in creating balanced lives for their kids—ones that prioritize both health and happiness.

Accepting the Imperfections in Parenting

I’ve come to realize that perfection in parenting isn’t something we need to strive for—it’s neither realistic nor necessary. What’s truly important is creating an environment where our children feel valued and supported. I believe in the concept of “good enough” parenting—where we consistently meet our children’s needs, even if it’s not always perfect, as this builds a strong foundation for their development. I know mistakes and challenges are a natural part of the learning process, both for parents and children. The focus should be on modeling resilience and positive coping strategies, showing our kids that seeking help and practicing self-care are not only acceptable but important for their well-being.

Creating Opportunities for Every Child to Be Their Best

At NXT Level Sport and Health, we believe in creating opportunities for everyone to reach their full potential, whether they are athletes striving for peak performance or children building the foundations of a healthy and active lifestyle. From sustainable lunchboxes to sports gear, each product is designed with one goal in mind: to support people in their physical, emotional, and social development. I’m committed to offering tools that help children and individuals grow, play, and thrive, so they can become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves.
