I was recently invited as a guest on the Our Kids Play Hockey Podcast to discuss youth hockey player development, a topic I’ve always been passionate about, but one I’m now gaining a different perspective on with two young kids starting up their own journeys through sport.

In the episode, we discussed:

• The key characteristics that set NHL players apart
• Practical tips for optimizing sleep and nutrition for young athletes
• Navigating mental health and pressure in youth sports
• Effective training methods that balance strength and speed
• Understanding individual differences in athlete development

To your success,
