Like many Panthers fans, one of my favourite players would be Bruce Richardson. Now well up on the coaching ladder he has posted some quotes which I think are relevant to any sport and worth a read.
Bruce Richardson
5 reason why some talented hockey player Fail: 1. Uncoachable 2. Listen to wrong people 3. Don't work hard 4. Selfish 5. Parents
Coaches who demand your best,care. They see what you don't see, say what you don't want to hear, so you can become the player you want to be.
Raise your kids to be a good teammate not a superstar
The moment coaches can stop coaching parents, egos, roles, and agendas and can start coaching hockey, you have a great team.
You get to decide the kind of person you want to be. Be someone you would respect.
Just because the past didn't turn out like you wanted it to, doesn't mean your future can't be better than you've ever imagined.
Great coaches and teammates don’t allow players to ‘go through the motions’ at practice. They demand 100% effort.
Competitiveness is a skill. It means being ready & willing to work at your hardest intensity every time you step on the ice
You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and improve your game.
A coach’s primary function should be not to make better players, but to make better people.
99% of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
Teamwork is: growing together when circumstances try to pull you apart.
Champions behave like champions before they’re champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they're winners.
Good players are talented but pick & choose when they want to play hard. Elite players are talented & play hard all the time.
