Our “Coaches Clipboard” is a collection of pertinent phrases, knowledge and wisdom. Shared (almost) every Sunday, it’s our "thinking menu" with some bits and pieces we came across…
#sharetheknowledge 🙂

Ask YOUR coaching questions here

Read. Enjoy. Think. Share.

  1. The best way to be valued is to add value.

  2. The way people treat you is their problem, and how you react is yours.

  3. When we focus on the competition, we become reactive. When we focus on improving ourselves, we become innovative.

  4. Life is too precious to be lived on autopilot.

  5. You have to be willing to wake up, to challenge every belief. In the world we currently inhabit, we are feed boatloads of information daily, some right, some wrong, most to steer us in a direction. When we are “aware” we challenge the data.

    The Hockey Site is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

  6. The best way to experience joy is to scatter it.

  7. Don' worry about the mental state of your players on the day of a strong defeat. It doesn’t have to be right tonight. You’ve suffered a defeat, you feel it, it hurts. You lick your wounds, and you start building it back tomorrow.

  8. The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep climbing.

  9. Leadership is not about being in charge; it's about taking care of those in your charge.

  10. What makes me come alive?


Hope you enjoyed these… and please tell us what you think of us here. Everybody needs feedback from time to time. Your player does, you as a coach do… and I’m no exception :)

Share your feedback please
