Episode 35: The 5 Hour Commute to Practice (with Ben DeBlock)Description
One hell of a commute and a front-row seat to growing up.
This week, Scott and Jamie sit down with Ben DeBlock, a hockey dad who's clocked the hours, booked the hotels, and still wonders if he's getting it right. From navigating long drives and tryout stress to realizing when to pull back, Ben offers a grounded, honest look at what it really means to support your kid through the hockey grind.
In this episode:
- How Ben rethought the “more is more” mindset
- What structure gave their family and where it backfired
- Why listening to your kid and partner is part of the job
If you've ever asked, “Are we doing too much?”, Ben's been there. And he’s got the self-awareness (and mileage) to prove it.
