Reply To: Good Habits at Practice? The Art of Coaching!

Kai,

1) I appreciated your detailed answer. Excellent to find a coach with a purpose behind their plan. Me likey!

2) Your avatar is truly awesome! But you need to find a bigger glass if you want to run with the big dogs…!

3) Your reference to Monty Python was hysterical! I just about purchased their entire DVD collection yesterday – ALL of the episodes ever produced!

All three reasons mean we will have to meet up for a good beer-fueled discussion in person some day! You will have to let me know where to find you in Finland. I have been threatening to return for some time… preferably in the spring or summer as it was too bloody cold in the winter when I was last there (as a player in 1982 ish?) I prefer dark beers greater than 9.8%!

I have Olli Riihimäki visiting from Jyväskylä. He is a principal there. He and his wife are on an exchange until Dec 1. He is a former semi-pro soccer goalie and a floorball player from the late 1980's. He has been out for beer with me a couple of times (and Tom joined us last week.)

Cheers!
