HOCKEY PARENTS: Something really interesting we noticed when I was coaching at the college level was a huge correlation between the confidence of a player to walk into our office and initiate a hard conversation…and their overall confidence as a player AND a person.
The kids that had an issue and knocked on our door to speak their mind…they were the ones most confident in themselves. It was really amazing to see.
Please stop fighting battles for your kids.
If they have an issue with their coach, they need to be the one that's going in and having the conversation.
Hard conversations are going to happen more and more each level that they go up. And if they have the confidence to go in and advocate for themselves, it's going to prepare them for the higher levels of hockey more than potentially anything else they'll do off the ice.
And not only does that lead to more confidence…
But if we as recruiters hear from a coach that mom or dad are an issue and helicopter parenting their kid…RED FLAG.
So please, let your kids go in and talk to the coach when they have a problem. Stop fighting their battles for them. It’s going to help them in so many ways in the long run.
Great message today at Franklin Middle School. Team first attitude. Thanks Coach Mumm. @FMS_TRF. Day 4 meditation. Our kids are doing an outstanding job.. Better Everyday.
Awesome ending to a beautiful night at the MEC. Even better than the game - a great turn out of support for the Austin Hope Foundation. Thanks @roseaubaseball and fans for your support. Thanks Prowler baseball and SB fans for your support. @ProwlerBlueCrew

First game w/my 5 year olds team yesterday
Two kids got into a shoving match pregame. Kid 1 yelled that he was going to kick kid 2’s ass before the mom stepped in and called kid 1 a little shit and said she’d whip his ass in front of his grandparents.
She was our dugout mom.
If the gophers win today, we’ll give away a Row The Boat hat to a random follower who retweets this. If the gophers don’t win, we’ll still give away a hat… we just won’t be as excited about it #WhoHatesIowa
