Dude that was such a powerful message! Thank you! As a coach and a parent I will definitely be trying to implement this for the rest of the season! Love your videos!

There is such a big difference between trying to succeed vs trying not to fail. ( Case in point: my Bruins in the first round last year ha ha ) Great video, and this goes so far beyond the rink!!!

John thank you for making clear the true problem with player development in our hockey world!!

I’m not a coach or parent but I’ve played my whole life. I was always a top player on my teams up until high school. I took 2 years off playing and was rusty and all my coaches would tell me my shot sucked. My shot sucked. Over & over & over. So I ended that year with 2 goals after almost always being one of the best players. In 3 on 3, I’d get a hat trick almost every game. They wrecked my confidence and I stopped wanting to shoot. Now playing adult leagues, I’m working on unraveling the lack of confidence instilled in me by my high school coaches. Great video! You’ll never become the player you want to be if you don’t truly believe you can be that player. My shot will always suck if I believe my shot sucks

Great video, so truthful. Coaches crush a child’s confidence.

Great video! Great message..

Coach, can you please share the Twin Cities company that you use for skate fitting? Thx

Coach, can you please share the hockey skate fitting company in the twin cities that you reference in your video? Thanks

best messege ever💯

Well done, my kids have played with several NHL players kids and they were the easiest going enjoying the moment vs other parents who analyze every single second they are on the ice, nobody has that concentration level especially at the age. Teach some fundamentals but really just encourage and enjoy. ;thx subscribing

Agreed

It kills me to see parents screaming at the kids from the stands. Absolutely destroying them as players.

Balls is the answer. Just saved you 12 minutes ;)
