Ep 13 - Stop the Pressure, Start the Support: Parenting in Youth Sport with Jordan Owens
Description
In this episode, Mariel introduces a new member of the Forged Youth team: former professional hockey player, Jordan Owens. After a 12-year pro career that took him across North America and Europe (including signing with the New York Rangers and playing in top leagues in Denmark, Germany, Italy, and the UK), Jordan now helps others develop the mindset, clarity, and discipline needed to pursue their potential, both on and off the ice. Together, Mariel and Jordan tackle real questions from parents about how to support their athletes without piling on extra pressure. From helping kids find their voice with coaches, to handling performance anxiety, to creating a healthy balance between sport and everyday life, this conversation gives parents practical tools to foster resilience, confidence, and joy in their athletes.
Whether your child is chasing high-level goals or simply learning to love the game, this episode is filled with insights that help you step back, cheer loud, and raise strong, independent athletes.
