Key Takeaways
  • Parents who try hardest to support their goalies at tryouts may unintentionally increase performance anxiety.
  • Adopt a specific pre-tryout approach that reduces pressure rather than amplifying the stakes for your goalie.
  • The same parental strategy that works at tryouts can be applied to any high-pressure game situation.
  • Recognize the difference between supportive behavior and behavior that signals to your goalie that the outcome matters too much.
Episode Notes

Sometimes when we are trying to support our young goalies at tryout time we might not be helping as much as we think. This week the guys chat about an approach that might help them at tryout time – and frankly in any big game scenario.
