Some of the guys relate to the young kids because they may want to coach someday. We believe everything in life is an attitude. Countries, States, Communities, Schools, Organizations, Teams, Parents and Individuals all have attitudes that affect teams and each player's career and life. We attempt to lay out a template that each player can follow. Hopefully each player will have a better understanding of how the game of hockey and the real game of life works.
Hockey has more life time values than any other sport.
Life and hockey are all about controlling your emotions, developing a mental toughness, maximizing your physical capabilities, earning the respect of your peers and developing adult relationships. Ego, interdependency, ethics, faith, belief, communication and passion all come in to play before we start teaching the bottom line qualities necessary to earn the respect of teammates, coaches, fans and media. We have a tendency to get up in the morning to be who we are. Kids love discipline because it makes life easier and reduces anxiety. There is no anxiety when we know we are prepared.
