@MichaelBuble @fallsviewcasino Was a great show!

@bruce_arthur At least someone in the organization takes accountability. I don’t recall anyone else ever doing so. Maybe that is the main issue with this organization.

[Michael Rotondo @Michael_Rotondo]

@stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews Perfectly put together and totally agree.

[Michael Rotondo @Michael_Rotondo]

@Lunchboxhero45 Be there, be supportive and stay positive. Listen to them when they express their feelings. Also, teach with guidelines and not control.

@CoachJonBeck I’ve seen coaches ignore the “worst” players on the team and only help the better ones get better. In the end, the team suffers overall.

[Michael Rotondo @Michael_Rotondo]

@LeachCityNewsTO It’s how MLSE works. The GM holds the candle and the President’s of the respective teams call the shots.

Good morning everyone! I feel like giving something away... retweet and follow... if we get to 10k followers we will give away an #isles    jersey of choice, tickets to a game, and something really unique and special! Ill pick a few winners at random, 1 prize per winner. LGI!

@HockeyBroph @LaughlinSXM If Boucher was a finalist for the Head Coaching position when Babcock was hired, this has Shanahan’s name all over it. As long as he is President, it’s going to go from bad to worse. Boucher will only turn players away.

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

A winning team is more than just the talent the players have.

A winning team values all players for who they are and what they bring to the team.

Every player on a team - whether they are the best or the worst player - wants to be valued and respected!

[Michael Langlois @ProspectComm]

If youth sports parents can find a coach that connects with players, listens, challenges, inspires, builds confidence and really teaches, their child is actually much better off with them than with a coach whose teams "win" more but provides little or none of those other things.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

A good player-coach relationship is built on trust. As a coach, you earn your players’ trust by helping them improve and showing that you truly care about them. And as a player, you earn your coach’s trust by giving your best effort and being coachable.

‼️Why Kids Quit Sports‼️

70% of children are dropping out of organized sports by the age of 13.

5 main reasons:

1. It’s no longer fun.
2. They have lost ownership of the experience.
3. They don’t get playing time.
4. They are afraid to make mistakes.
5. They feel disrespected.

Therefore…it is our obligation as coaches, parents, and adults to:

1. Create life-giving experience.
2. Instill a “Get to vs. Have to” mentality.
3. Set up value system not based on playing time.
4. Encourage risk…”If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t doing anything.”
5. Love BIG!

Any coach can learn the x’s and o’s. It takes a special coach to build a strong culture and form positive relationships with players.

[Michael Rotondo @Michael_Rotondo]

@CoachJonBeck So true! Many amateur coaches focus on themselves. It’s all about winning to make them look good and not focus on the players and their development.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Coaches: If you want credibility & the ultimate respect from your players, they better believe that you are able to make them better. When they look you in the eye, they need to see that you are in it for them. Every player who is serious & wants to be great, wants to be coached!

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

When Lou Lamoriello got the Islanders job a month after Kyle Dubas got the Leafs job, what would the odds have been Lou would outlast Dubas?

10-1? 15-1? HIGHER? The Isles also won 4 playoff rounds in the same stretch of time - after winning 1 from 1993-2018.

[Randy Waldrum @CoachWaldrum]

The best soccer coaches know their impact extends far beyond the game itself.

They shape young lives, build character, and create legacy that lasts long after the final whistle.

[Michael Rotondo @Michael_Rotondo]

@iamhockey1 The officiating has been horrible throughout the playoffs, but it’s not alsways the most talented teams that win. Hard work, systems, coaching, injuries etc that play a huge role as well.
