  • The Ride to the Rink - Are You Spending Time or Investing It?
    Jul 3 2025

    In this episode, Lee shares a powerful concept from a conversation with longtime coach and mentor Pete Whitney: the difference between time spent and time invested.

    Whether it’s hockey, school, or life off the ice, young athletes are constantly choosing how to use their time—but not all choices pay off the same way.

    🧠 Lee breaks down:

    • The mindset that separates top performers from the rest
    • How to recognize “brain rot” moments vs. productive ones
    • Why it’s not just about being busy—but being intentional
    • A simple daily reflection to help kids grow on and off the ice

    This is one of those episodes that’s short, insightful, and absolutely worth sharing with your hockey player.

    📣 Remember: the best athletes invest their time—and you’re worth the investment.
