Episode 32: If They’re Shutting Down, Lean In
Description
New routines, new teams, big emotions - here’s how to show up.
This week, Scott and Jamie open up about the quiet signs that something might be off - not with the game, but with the kid. From sudden shifts in attitude to the moments where effort just disappears, this episode is about how to support your player when they’re struggling in ways they can’t explain yet.
In this episode:
- Jamie breaks down how outside stress can sneak into the rink
- Why early-season emotions are real and how to not dismiss them as drama
- Tools for creating space, checking in, and helping kids feel heard when they’re spinning
It’s not about fixing. It’s about paying attention and giving your kid the confidence to face the mess, not hide from it.
