The audio segment published here takes you directly to the Parent Segment from this episode.
Key Takeaways
- Distinguish between a one-off low-effort game and a recurring pattern before deciding how to respond.
- Recognize that a perceived lack of effort may look different from a parent's perspective versus the goalie's own experience.
- Draw on coaching and teaching principles — not just parenting instincts — when addressing effort issues with your young goalie.
- Avoid reacting in the moment; listen to expert advice grounded in years of goalie-parent and coaching experience before having the conversation.
- Use resources like the Stop It Goaltending U app to support your goalie's development beyond game-day observations.

In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we share some advice for parents whose effort seem to be lacking.
