A player’s journey. A coach’s perspective. A parent’s wake-up call.
This week, Scott and Jamie sit down with Alec Marsh, former Penn State hockey forward and current assistant coach at Hobart College, for one of the most honest, insightful interviews CHD has ever aired.
Alec walks through his own path from elite youth hockey to college then pro. Now as a coach, he’s on the other side of the glass, helping kids chase their goals without losing who they are.
In this episode:
- What kids actually remember about their hockey experience
- What it actually takes to succeed at the next level
- A coaching philosophy built on humans first, hockey second
Whether you’re in the grind, on the fence, or already down the rabbit hole, this one’s a gut check - in the best way.
