Hustle and Compete - Happy Halloween
How to maximize individual development and team performance
Hi there,
You don’t have to choose between development and winning - you can have both.
Maximize Development and Winning:
There is no substitute for hustle and compete. Eric Musselman, Head Coach for Arkansas basketball had a special pregame speech for his team on Halloween that is all about hustle and compete. It’s awesome. Enjoy!
This is a masterclass on how to engage your players and decrease pressure. It’s ok to have some fun.
Practice Plans that Win:
This drill works on the offensive player picking the puck off the wall, puck protection and attacking the net. The defensive player stays square with stick on puck and maintaining net side positioning.
In the video the defender is playing a passive defense, allowing the offensive player to attack the net. You can play it live, allowing the defender to play with 100% effort.
Ice Hockey Systems is the platform I use to design and share drills, practice plans, and systems.
Breakthrough Knowledge:
An entertaining take on why hockey is awesome.
Keep Getting Better:
Strategies for Coaching Performance with Dr Gary Bowman:
Dr Gary Bowman and I recorded a podcast to discuss a blog I wrote, titled, There is an I in team.
In the podcast we consider the impact of competition, conflict, and harmony within a team. We also go deep on coach development and staff dynamics.
