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.
