Don’t strive for perfection.
Strive for continued optimization over time.
Anything in work or life falls into the category of things that can be made continually better.

Are mouthguards still mandatory for minor hockey across Canada?

It’s unproven that they prevent concussions but I see lacrosse kids run around with ill fitting pieces of plastic in their mouth……

Many people know this drill as a suicide. NOTHING in 🏀 is as bad as taking a life.
I challenge all coaches to change their words!

Don’t confuse the workout of someone who just works out at the gym with the workout of someone who has:
1- just come from practice
2-has to go to practice
3-has practice the next day.
They are not the same. – at Wakefield, MA

Many think they want to be a coach. Until they get into the 60+ hour weeks. Doing team laundry at 2am, driving vans, going to scout & recruit, practices, games, managing a team & personalities, monitoring academics, & more….all while being told by every person in that stands, that has never done it, what you should be doing and how you’re wrong at every turn.

There’s a difference between “watching” basketball and “knowing” basketball. Too many people think they “know” because they “watch”.
I “watch” a lot of home improvement shows on TV but that doesn’t mean I “know” how to build a house.
Watchers and Knowers.

Hockey Canada has grassroots right in the first sentence of their mandate. If grassroots programming isn't front and center of their core mandate then what are they around for? I've been involved in lax for 40 years and as far as I can tell they are just a National Team program.

Biden: “I wanted to play lacrosse, but you had to choose between lacrosse and football. You couldn’t play both in the same season.”

As somebody who played both as a kid, plenty of people do it lol
