When my generation was young, a large part of parenting centered around the kitchen table. Typically, dads went to work and moms would be at home. A lot of positive conversations happened during the times when Mom would meet with her friends at home for coffee around the kitchen table. The moms shared ideas and mentored each other. When Dad got home, he and Mom discussed those ideas and supported each other to become better parents. We don’t have as many opportunities like that anymore.

Similar to parents, coaches require their own “kitchen table time.” As a mentor, I discovered just how challenging it is to get hockey coaches together to exchange ideas and brainstorm solutions to help their athletes develop confidence. In my personal experience, developing my own confidence affected my ability to be successful. The best help we can give our players is to provide them with the opportunity to develop their hockey confidence so that they can become their own best friend and develop the personal skills that will last them a lifetime!
