When I told Scott and Jamie from the Crazy Hockey Dads podcast that I recommend just 10 minutes of stickhandling for kids, they looked at me like I was crazy. Too short. Not enough work. Half of it is rest, for crying out loud. But here's the thing: the best training is the training that actually gets done. In this episode, I break down why shorter, focused sessions beat longer ones every time. We get into the psychology of habit-building, why kids can't focus for 30 minutes straight (and why we shouldn't ask them to), and how 10-minute sessions actually create momentum that leads to way more total training time. I also explain what I'm really doing during those "rest periods" and why they're secretly some of the most valuable coaching moments for building hockey IQ. If you've ever struggled to get your kid to stick with at-home training, or if you're wondering whether these short sessions can actually make a difference, this one's for you. Takeaways: Why the best training is the training players will actually do How 10-minute sessions build consistency better than longer workouts The psychological advantage of "stacking" multiple short sessions Why rest periods are undercover Hockey IQ development How to make training feel fun instead of tedious What 10 minutes a day actually adds up to over a season
