Tryouts are about far more than hockey.
In Part 1 of this special post-tryout series, Paul Brown shares his firsthand experiences from this Spring’s tryout season, as a coach, evaluator, former VP of Rep, and a psychotherapist working with athletes and performers.
This episode explores the emotional, psychological, and organizational realities of tryouts, including:
- the evaluation process;
- what coaches are actually looking for;
- the impact of open borders;
- players trying out with no intention of staying;
- the ripple effects of declined offers;
- and the human side of decision-making behind closed doors.
Paul also discusses performance pressure, identity, confidence, parent dynamics, and why tryouts often affect far more than roster spots.
Whether you’re a player, parent, coach, or evaluator, this episode offers an honest and thoughtful look inside one of the most emotionally charged experiences in youth sports.
Part 2 of the series will feature a coach, a player, and a parent sharing their perspectives on the tryout process.
