Under Pressure: A Parent's Role in Athlete Success

Please join us for a panel of your Medicine Hat Tigers, moderated by Head Coach Willie Desjardins, and supported by Sport Psychologist Janay Gregory. 

Behind every young athlete learning to perform under pressure is a parent quietly shaping that experience, for better or worse. Under Pressure: A Parent’s Role in Athlete Success brings you inside the high-stakes world of WHL-level hockey through an honest, unscripted panel conversation with Medicine Hat Tigers players, moderated by their Head Coach. These athletes know firsthand what pressure feels like. Expectations, competition, mistakes, and the voices they have heard on the way home from the rink. This panel will be supported by a brief presentation on athlete pressure from Janay Gregory, Sport Psychologist. In this engaging evening at Medicine Hat College, parents will gain rare insight into how pressure can either sharpen resilience or undermine confidence, and how to support their child in developing the mental strength to handle stress, setbacks, and high expectations, on the ice and beyond. 

Young athletes are welcome if their parents are in attendance, and this conversation is designed especially for parents who want to help their athletes thrive, not just perform.

Session will be located at the Eresman Theatre, Medicine Hat College on January 28th at 6:30 pm.
