How can we stop parents saying “I’d never let my son or daughter play goal”
Even when said half-jokingly it reinforces a stigma that hurts us all (not to mention the old “goalies are crazy” ).
The game needs goalies.
So today let’s begin the conversation. Let’s have listeners share their thoughts and we’ll keep this at the forefront of our conversations at InGoal going forward.
We can devote a future segment to dispelling some of the concerns – but we wanted to focus on the positive today – why do you let your son or daughter play goal?
Of course the overwhelming answer will be “because they want to play and I want them to be happy”
Perfect, of course.
But beyond that – if you were talking to a parent who is against it – what are the positives?
We share a few in today’s Parent Segment and invite you to share yours with us in the comments below or email us [email protected] and let us know. We want to be a part of the solution.
Coming Soon
We have some exciting new programming coming just for goalie parents; whether you're a wily vet or a first-timer there will be something for you that will help you navigate the goalie parent waters to help you and your child have their best, most enjoyable, season ever.
We will initially roll it out just for a select group as we ensure it is of the highest quality and delivering just what you need. So please let us know by joining the waiting list. Everyone is welcome and there is no commitment required, just add your name to the list here.
