Great Article for coaches and players!!!
There are a couple things I love taking out of film study.
A lot of athletes are visual learners but we just sit there and talk to
them, wave our hands around and paint the picture as we're telling it.
We [as coaches] understand what we see, but for the younger athletes,
they don't understand all the little tendencies that happen on the ice
with body language or the way guys turn, where the stick is. It's always
nice when you can go out and have the best players in the world as an
example for your athletes to observe. We go out there and collect all
the highlights on NHL.com and all the goals scored. We want to look at
the positive side of the goals scored and also what happened on the
other side of things.
If you're the fifth overall pick, and having a tough time or struggling
with something, we want to see how they handle it. It's how you bounce
back and build that really strong mindset. If you make a mistake, let it
go and get ready for the next shift so you don't let it snowball or
basically be a downward spiral. You can't let one mistake effect you. We
want to make sure the kids know they're going to make mistakes and
that's why there's actually goals scored in the NHL.
