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

Dman,

Soccer coaches have taught me SO much… I want to hang out with some basketball coaches too since it is so similar to hockey! My friend Dan went to watch University of Florida (Urban Meyer) run their spring camp a few years ago. They got an inner look at what happens (highly organized, positive and no swearing) and it sounded AMAZING! I heard there is a similar 2011 spring camp (Easter weekend?) being hosted in Oregon. Once I get the info, I will post. I don't know much about football, but am willing to learn about the art of coaching from some top NCAA coaches. Just need to find out the exact dates / times / costs and see if I can swing it!

The "template" to which I am referring to Kai's "weekly plan" or template that he detailed above – Monday is x, Tuesday is x, etc.

We need more beer avatars so I hope Tom can help you… tonight, with the first winter storm upon us, I chose a lovely Australian port for consumption as a change up to my 9.9% Blue Monk Barley Wine. For a mere $20 bottle (my next door neighbour owns a specialty wine / beer store and home delivers whatever I need at a discounted rate!), it was quite delightful. Tawny in colour with sweet fruit on the palate, and a pleasing dry finish. Of course, like any experienced hockey coach, I only drink ice-cold port – exactly how I like my beer… Mmmmmmmm….
