Is this only for hockey parents?

No. While the guide is written from a hockey background, the content applies to any competitive or travel sport — soccer, lacrosse, baseball, basketball, gymnastics, and more. The burnout signs, conversation scripts, financial framework, and parent self-assessment are universal. If your child plays a travel or competitive sport between ages 7 and 14, this guide is for you.

Who wrote this guide?

A former competitive hockey player who played from a young age through travel and elite programs. This guide is written from the athlete's perspective — sharing what it actually felt like to be the kid on the ice, and what would have helped most. It is not a clinical manual or a coaching textbook. It is a personal, honest guide written by someone who lived the experience.

What if I'm already a great sports parent?

The parents who get the most out of this guide are often the ones who are already trying to do it right — and want a framework to do it even better. The 20-question self-assessment in Chapter 6 is designed to surface the small things that most well-intentioned parents don't notice they're doing. Even a score of 3 or 4 shows you one or two things worth changing.
