I'm conducting a survey on coaching to understand what makes a good coach and to learn from people's experience.

If you could take a minute and fill this out if you are either a coach or athlete/performer, that'd be great. It's not limited to sport: https://t.co/P8K1uZsPDA

Hockey is the sport where every mom and dad spent every weekend getting up at 5am to load the family vehicle in 16 below weather and drive to some rink somewhere for practice.

An 8am gold medal game sounds like a vacation.

[Amanda Stanec, PhD @MoveLiveLearn]

& no Canadian cares what time the game is on early.

We are all just thrilled we can watch because it’s on a Sunday.

❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Regardless, hockey is 🇨🇦’s game.

My 1st child was due Dec 26, 2009.
Every 🇺🇸: “Have her before Jan 1 for tax write off.”
Every 🇨🇦: “Do NOT have that baby before Jan 1. Needs good hockey bday.

🇺🇸’❤️ of NFL+NBA+MLB +NHL = 🇨🇦’❤️ of hockey.

What @nickbaumgartner is able to do at any age is amazing, let alone at age 44.

What you may not know is that he was D1 wrestler at Michigan State.

I’d love to see a story on that…

[Amanda Stanec, PhD @MoveLiveLearn]

@BStulberg Thanks for sharing, Brad. I address this and related issues in my recent book:

A reminder that this was my entire investigation — 8 years ago. All this — and more — was reported in the Miami Herald series in 2018.
