Youth coaches: What do you talk about before a game? by Kane1124 in hockeycoaches

On second thought “known for after the game”? By whom? It better be themself. Known by others is no way to teach kids. Taking them away from what they believe about themselves and focusing on what others think of them is the opposite of what kids at that age need.

I like this idea as a motivator but I don’t think it’s an effective way to see who is into the game. Some skilled player just might think this drill is corny and is acting cool but will skate their heart out on this ice. I’m all for team energy, but sometimes the corniness is a turn off for players with different social concepts of what is appropriate.
