Life's biggest wins come from quiet consistency. For Olympic gold medalist Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, that meant showing up every day and finding joy in the daily grind.  In this episode, she reflects on her journey as an elite athlete, mother of four children, and advocate for equality in women's hockey. We discuss why finding enjoyment in the monotony on the road to excellence matters, how to parent athletes in a way that pushes them without pressure, and ways men can help fight for equality and representation in the game. Tune in to hear what's helped Jocelyne make an impact on and off the ice! Topics discussed: Jocelyne's unique relationship with her twin, Monique The importance of finding joy in the daily grind Jocelyne's role in the 2017 fight for equal pay What it really means to be a winner Balancing honest feedback and encouragement for kids How increased marketing has changed women's hockey How men can be allies in women's hockey Mentorship, coaching, and growth Listen to episode 238, Empowering the Next Generation with Kellan Brown, here: https://www.mitlinfinancial.com/insights/blog/empowering-the-next-generation-with-kellan-brown/ Resources: Mitlin Financial: https://www.mitlinfinancial.com/ The JOY and Productivity Journal by Lawrence Sprung: https://www.amazon.com/JOY-Productivity-Journal-brought-mindset/dp/B0CYQFYW54/ Download Your Free Copy of the Couple's JOYful Money Guide: https://mitlin.us/CouplesJOY Connect with Larry Sprung:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencesprung/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/larry_sprung/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LawrenceDSprung/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/Lawrence_Sprung Connect with Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jocelyneusa17/ Twitter: https://x.com/lamoureuxtwins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LamoureuxTwins/ Website: www.lamoureuxtwins.com About our Guest: Born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota as the youngest of six children, Jocelyne and her twin sister Monique excelled as young athletes and became North Dakota's first Olympic Gold Medalists. Despite growing up with no opportunity to play on girls hockey teams, they did not let that stop them from developing into some of the best players in the state.  They attended Shattuck St. Mary's School where they elevated the women's hockey program to national prominence and won three national titles during their high school careers.   The Lamoureux twins rewrote the record books at the University of North Dakota, setting nearly every individual record in program history while becoming some of the best players in NCAA history and multiple-time All-Americans during their collegiate careers. During their 15 years on the USA Women's National Team, Monique and Jocelyne rose to become two of the all-time greats in women's hockey, winning one Olympic gold medal, two Olympic silver medals, six world championships and one world championship runner-up, along with multiple individual awards and accolades. They are USA Hockey Hall of Fame inductees and 2nd and 3rd youngest North Dakota natives to be given the Teddy Roosevelt Award in the State of North Dakota.  Their most important victories have come off the ice in their fight for gender equity for women in hockey and sports. They were key leaders in negotiating Team USA's first-ever contract that provided more opportunities, compensation and benefits for women and girls who play hockey in America. They continue to give back to the state of North Dakota through the Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux Foundation, which helps serve underprivileged youth. They have inspired a generation to dream big, but most importantly their legacy will be about making a difference in people's lives as they strive toward those dreams.  Disclosure: Guests on the Mitlin Money Mindset are not affiliated with CWM, LLC, and opinions expressed herein may not be representative of CWM, LLC.
