Hockey is all Tyler ever wanted to do. But when he finally makes the Select team, things aren't how he imagined it. Tyler divides his time between playing for fun in house league and playing high-stakes hockey in Select. But trying to succeed at both is wearing him the house league team accuses him of holding back, and the pressure to win during Select games is immense. And the pressure isn't just coming from the players and the coach, it's coming from somewhere much closer to home—his hockey-loving mom. Tyler's burnt out and feeling crushed by the stress, but how can he give up the game he loves? In Making Select, author Steven Barwin tackles a hockey issue that has been much talked in recent years—youth hockey burnout.
