What started as a joke turns into a serious question: when did we decide effort wasn’t enough?\nIn this episode:\n- Smelling salts at 10U - what are we even doing?\n- Why kids are mimicking intensity without understanding it\n- When coaches push too far and confuse chaos for culture\nHow the pressure to “be ready” can backfire in every direction\nThis one’s not about dialing it down - it’s about dialing it in. Because hype doesn’t equal heart. And smelling salts don’t make your edges better.\nSocials:\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crazy.hockey.dads\nX: https://x.com/Crazyhockeydads\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/crazyhockeydadspodcast/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576627751551","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FcKf3oNYrJjBBpcwxB4tL3db9BOVFL_TLc0Kr3OnegY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNjkw/MWYwMzk3NzJhNWVi/MjNiNGEyNjc0YTk5/YzJhZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
