Q: Parents: Preparing like a Pro: How much is too much?

According to InGoal Magazine's Parent Segment, hosted by David Hutchison and presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, preparation is essential for goalie development — but too much of it, or the wrong type, can actually do more harm than good. The segment challenges goalie parents to rethink how they prepare their young netminders, shifting focus from quantity to quality and appropriateness of preparation.

Preparation is critical for young goaltenders, but the type and amount of preparation matters as much as the act of preparing itself.
Over-preparation or misguided preparation can actively harm a goalie's development rather than help it.
Goalie parents should evaluate not just how much prep they provide, but whether it is the right kind for their child's level and needs.
InGoal Radio's Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, offers a resource specifically designed to help parents support goalies more effectively.
