The Wraparound Roundtable Ep. 2: How Coach Jeremy of How To Hockey is Helping Us Rethink Youth Hockey Sticks

Hockey sticks are expensive! This week we are privileged to have well known influencer/creator/coach Jeremy Rupke of How To Hockey joining Lee to share Mode Hockey - a company that specializes in pro-quality sticks made specifically for kids.
Mode separates themselves from the rest of the hockey market by creating full one piece composite sticks (most youth sticks are not) with an appropriate level of flex for youth athletes. This allows them to have some consistency with stick options as they grow instead of the drastic changes that happen when using sticks not specializes to their height and weight. For more info on how that works, click here.
Enjoy this quick episode with Jeremy and be sure to listen for the secret code word so you can enter to win one of SIX free sticks of your choosing.

Monday Morning Coaching - Parental Influence In Youth Hockey

Who says parents can't play a crucial role in youth sports? With the right tools and mindset, you can navigate the complicated role of being a "Monday morning coach," thereby nurturing your young hockey player's skills and craft in the process. This episode is brimming with insights, anecdotes, and practical advice on how to balance parental input and trust in the coaching staff; we promise to equip you with valuable tools to make this journey smoother.
Being a parent of a young athlete comes with its own set of difficulties, but it all boils down to effective communication and managing expectations. We delve into the importance of understanding your child's team's mission statement and the coach's tactics, discussing how these factors can impact your perception and expectations. It's crucial to remember that while it can be tempting to offer advice, we must trust our coaches' judgement and allow them to lead the team, limiting our input to safeguard the team's harmony.
Finally, we take the conversation a step further by discussing the potential negative impact of overbearing parental involvement. It's time we realized the fine line between being supportive and overbearing—yes, your involvement matters, but it's your child's game at the end of the day.
