Key Takeaways

- Let your child take ownership of their own routine rather than dictating every step — independence builds confidence.
- Sticking to the routine consistently is as important as creating it in the first place.
- Parents play a supportive role by enabling the routine, not controlling it.
- Game-day habits developed early can have lasting impact on a goaltender's performance and mental readiness.
