Episode 27: Stop Comparing Your Kid to Joey (Seriously, Stop)

Episode 27: Stop Comparing Your Kid to Joey (Seriously, Stop)

Day 3 of CHD Mini-Camp: Managing Expectations

If you've ever told your kid, “Why can’t you skate like Johnny?”, this one’s for you.

Today, Scott and Jamie get honest about the silent killer of youth hockey joy: comparison. From slapshot envy to AAA pressure spirals, this episode is a call to stop parenting the imaginary prodigy in your head… and start supporting the actual human in your house.

In this episode:

  • Why “progress, not perfection” needs to be your new family mantra
  • How comparison poisons confidence (for both kids and parents)
  • Real stories about backflips, bike tricks, and smelly U18 gloves
  • The underrated power of little wins and long games


Plus: Jamie admits to being pickleball stud, Scott confesses a dad-text before his men's league championship, and both CHD boys model how not to blow it in the driveway.

Takeaway Tool: “Progress > Paranoia”
Measure against yesterday, not someone else’s kid.
