Fort Lauderdale, FL – November 5, 2025 – Red Card Real Talk, co-founded by marketing strategist
and soccer mom Teana McDonald and business operations professional Tiffany Doner, is officially
launched to redefine how parents, coaches, and athletes talk about youth and collegiate sports.
Born from years of sideline experiences, recruiting chaos, and lessons learned through Teana’s own
family journey, Red Card Real Talk was brought to life with Tiffany’s strategic vision and operational
leadership — turning one mom’s experience into a platform that supports families everywhere.

“I’ve been through every phase — from rec days and travel tournaments to college recruiting and
international play,” said Teana McDonald. “But I also know how overwhelming and isolating it can be.
Red Card Real Talk was built to take that pressure off parents and give them a place to learn, vent, and
find real guidance.”

“Watching Teana juggle family, business, and the unpredictable world of youth soccer was inspiring,
”added Tiffany Doner. “I knew there were thousands of parents out there just like her — doing their best, but often without direction. That’s where Red Card Real Talk comes in.”

Why It Matters
Youth sports are no longer just about the game — they’re about development, identity, opportunity, and
balance. Red Card Real Talk opens the door to real, transparent discussions about:
-Navigating the college recruiting process and NIL (Name, Image & Likeness)
-Managing mental health and post-game emotions - Balancing family life and athletic ambition
-Building healthier relationships between parents, players, and coaches

What’s Next
Red Card Real Talk will roll out live and virtual sessions, short-form video series, and guest interviews
with coaches, recruiters, and sports professionals. Parents can join the conversation, ask hard
questions, and finally get clear answers — from people who’ve lived it and built it.
