Regarding parenting: my mom told us, "you can't protect your kids from the world, but you can prepare them for it." We need to take this approach with athletes: WE CAN'T PROTECT OUR PLAYERS FROM THE SPORT, WE NEED TO PREPARE THEM FOR IT.

- “Elite” athletes: If you have to tell me how hard you work when nobody is around, it’s probably not that hard. “Hard work” is doing things your peers don’t and won’t, even when you don’t feel like it. Seek validation in what you do consistently, not what you say you do.
- Make Full Range of Motion Strength Training Great Again
- On athletic development and being recruited for the next level: Worry less about WHO is coming to watch and HOW they will see you/your kid. Focus more on giving them WHAT they want to see. Team name doesn’t get you scouted, an elite quality does…
- In-Season Training for elite hockey players (Junior & up) can be done many ways. I like: Daily SMR, CARs, shoulder/hip prep Volume ⬇️ Intensity ⬆️ Sprint, Heavy, Explosive Frequency ↕️ Sagittal Plane Lifting (Practice Days) Frontal/Transverse Plane Potentiation (Game Days)
