Worth Repeating: Shane Doan on Playing the Long Game

from Better Sports Parents

Affectionately known as Captain Coyote, Shane Doan played 21 seasons in the NHL and has worked in executive positions with multiple franchises since his playing days ended. The former Memorial Cup MVP and three time Gold Medalist at the World Championships is also the father of four children, one of whom, Josh Doan, plays in the NHL for the Buffalo Sabres. In this segment, Shane uses Josh's story as a late bloomer to illustrate that development is not linear while advising parents to simply let their children play the games they love as long as possible.Listen to the full episode:⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple⁠Watch on ⁠YouTube⁠
