I'm excited about today's video. I'm going to be talking about one of my favourite players, Sidney Crosby. Sid broke into the league in 2005 and had an impact and 14 years later continues to perform at the superstar level. Racking up 1216 points in 943, and an additional 186 points in 164 playoff games, where he's led the penguins to 2 Stanley cups as their captain.
 
We have all seen his on-ice brilliance, but few have witnessed how he prepares each summer to maintain his consistent dominance.
 
I got my hands on some footage of Mr. Crosby working with his on-ice skills coach. Now he's no spring chicken anymore, but look at the focus he shows drill after drill. He's not behaving like a seasoned veteran, more like a rookie trying to earn a roster spot.
 
Yes, from a very young age, the Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia native, clearly was different from the typical hockey player. Before the age of 10, he'd significantly distanced himself talent-wise from other kids his age. But was he a prodigy?
