Key Takeaways
- Goalie parents who invest in their own mental and physical health are better equipped to support their young netminder.
- Stepping back from closely monitoring every practice and game can create healthier development space for youth goalies.
- Loosening the parental 'leash' benefits both parent and player — reducing pressure on the goalie and burnout in the parent.
- Self-care for hockey parents is not selfish; it is a strategic part of supporting a young goalie's long-term growth.
Episode Notes
In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about importance of goalie parents taking time for their own mental and physical health, possibly while loosening the leash on how closely you watch your young goalie, and how that can benefit both of you.
