Podcast Episode #389: Set the Example: How Parents Build—or Break—Champions
(Warrior Confidence Monday Motivation)

🚨 Right Hook of Reality

The number one challenge for every hockey organization isn’t the players—it’s the parents. Unruly parents, disrespectful behavior, and lack of accountability don’t just hurt the team—they destroy the culture, and in extreme cases, they dissolve the organization. Parents, are you setting the example that builds champions—or are you unknowingly tearing your player’s future apart?

 

Engagement Question

What message are your actions sending to your player—on and off the ice? Are you building a leader or embarrassing them and breaking their confidence?

 

Overview

In this episode of Warrior Confidence Monday Motivation, we’re addressing one of the biggest challenges in youth hockey today: parental behavior. Recently, a team was dissolved because the parents’ behavior was so toxic that their home rink refused to host them.

Parents, your actions set the tone—not just for your players but for the entire organization. Whether you’re in the stands, at the rink, or at home, your behavior is teaching your player how to act, lead, and respond to adversity.

We’ll explore the critical role parents play in shaping their players' mindset, confidence, and success—on and off the ice. Plus, I’ll share three Warrior Confidence tips to help you lead with integrity and set the example your player needs to become the champion they were born to be.

 

Three Warrior Confidence Tips

🌟 1. Champions Are Built at Home: Your behavior as a parent directly impacts your player’s confidence, mindset, and character. Lead by example. Show them respect, accountability, and discipline in action.

🌟 2. Think Long-Term, Not Short-Term: In the heat of a game, it’s easy to yell at a ref or blame a coach. But what lesson does that teach your player? Champions don’t focus on excuses—they focus on solutions. Show your player how to handle adversity with composure and class.

🌟 3. Stand Out by Leading with Integrity: It’s easier than ever to stand out as a leader because so few are willing to act with integrity. Be the parent who inspires—not embarrasses. Teach your player that winning isn’t just about goals—it’s about character.
