I just uploaded a 1‑page Post‑Game Parent Guide I’ve been using with teams and Compete Code families. The goal:Turn car rides from emotional autopsies into simple, numbers‑based check‑ins that actually help your kid compete better. Inside the one‑pager: - 4 go‑to post‑game questions: So you’re not scrambling for “the right thing to say” after a tough game. - “Say this instead of that” swaps: Exact phrases to replace:“Why didn’t you play like you do in practice?”“You disappeared out there.”…with questions that point them back to their bottleneck and behaviors, not their identity. - The “3 numbers, 1 plan” car‑ride rule: A simple structure to keep conversations short, specific, and forward‑focused: 2–3 scores (compete, bottleneck behavior, bounce‑back) → 1 thing to aim at next game → done. If you’ve ever left the rink thinking,“I want to help, but I don’t know what to say without making it worse,”this is for you. Download it, print it, and try it after the next game. Then come back here and drop what changed for you and your athlete. I have linked it here but you can also find it in classroom in the parent section.

Car Ride Script (Parents) This is a simple 3+1 question script you can use after every game to keep the ride home calm, useful, and aligned with Compete Code. Instead of “Why didn’t you play like you do in practice?”, it helps your athlete focus on: - Their one Compete Code rule - How well they did on that rule (1–5) - One clear focus for the next game - (Optional) Whether they filled out their tracker - Use this every game. Same questions, every time. It keeps the conversation on controllables and behaviors under pressure, not just the scoreboard. Parent Script Link

Let's see what OHA brought this week!

This is where your habits get a score. Each week I will post the leaderboard by Thursday. You can find it under OHA in the tabs at the top of this page. Not your draft ranking. Not other people's opinions. What you actually do, every day, under pressure. What this board tracks How you respond after mistakes How simple and clean your first touch is How hard you attack the next play How consistently you show up and log your reps If you do the work, it will show up here. If you don’t, it won’t. How you can “win” here There are 3 ways to show up on the board: Overall Compete Code Leaders The guys with the highest all‑around Compete Code scores for the week. Ironman Streaks The guys who show up and do the work the most days in a row. This is about consistency, not talent. Most Improved The guys who climbed the most from last week to this week, no matter where they started. You don’t have to be the best player to be on this board. You just have to be the guy who keeps showing up and tightening his habits. What this is NOT It’s not a depth chart. It’s not politics. It’s not about being perfect. It’s a scoreboard for your mindset and your decision-making under pressure. Your job Read your weekly feedback. Pick your one behavior rule. Attack it all week. Check the leaderboard on Sunday and see if the work showed up. If you’re not on the board yet, good. You’ve got the most room to climb. Let’s see who can out-compete everyone on the things they can control.

Happy New Year, Compete Code, I’m grateful you’re here. You chose to put your kids in an environment where they learn to handle pressure, compete, and build a system that will serve them long after the scoreboard is turned off. That matters more than you know. As we head into 2026, I want to set a simple focus for our community: This year is about building competitors, not chasing outcomes. Scholarships, trophies, stats, and starting spots are byproducts.Our real job is helping your son or daughter become the kind of person who: - Shows up on the hard days - Competes when it would be easier to hide - Uses nerves as fuel instead of proof that “something is wrong with me” - Takes responsibility and learns instead of making excuses Inside Compete Code, I’ll keep giving your athlete the tools to: - Self-diagnose what’s holding them back - Turn practices and games into pressure-training reps - Build an identity as someone who does the work, especially when it’s boring Your role as parents is the multiplier. A few ways you can help this year: 1. Praise effort, ownership, and preparation more than results. 2. Treat bad games like data, not drama. “What did we learn?” instead of “What went wrong with you?” 3. Model calm under pressure. If we stay steady, they borrow our nervous system. What to expect from me and this community in 2026: - Clear, practical tools you and your athlete can use with the training they already do - Prompts and check-ins here in Skool to keep everyone accountable - A space where struggle is normal, effort is celebrated, and progress is the win If your kid finishes this year more confident under pressure, more resilient after setbacks, and more proud of the work they put in, we’ve won. The rest will take care of itself. To kick things off, drop a comment below with one way you’re committed to supporting your athlete differently this year. Let’s set the tone together. Here’s to a year of reps, growth, and kids who learn they can do hard things.
