In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch talks about the importance of building good habits and routines — around practices, not just games — for getting to the rink and getting ready to play.
- Practice days are an underused opportunity to build and reinforce pre-game routines for youth goalies.
- Consistent habits around getting to the rink and getting ready to play should be established at practice, not first introduced on game day.
- Parents play a meaningful role in helping their young goalie create and sustain these pre-rink routines.
- Treating each practice with the same preparation mindset as a game helps goalies develop reliable mental readiness.
- Stop It Goaltending U the App is the presenting sponsor of the Parent Playbook segment on InGoal Radio.
