Larry: thanks for the kind words. I appreciate them. In terms of what I think is the number #1 ingredient, I'd say passion like you. Although I also agree that parents are important. Just as they are in education. Parents need to be involved and support their children. Ironically, parents seem to ov...

InigoMontoya: do you still, after reading the posts that I've written, think the two conclusions you came to were accurate? I don't see how you could, but if you do, let me know what I said made you feel this way and I can clarify. Josh, I'm sure you're a nice kid. You played HS hockey; I assume yo...

I agree about the training at 100%. Less then that and skill development, is minimal. If you can teach players to push past their comfort zone and can teach intensity, then you have a product. This is where I think parents mess up. When the parent's intensity is higher then the player's. When my ki...

Maybe you should check out Princeton's research on how to address your target market. So far, you've told the ones that write the checks, that writing the checks is detrimental to the kids development. You've told the ones that would take time out of their busy day to learn something, that their ch...

Josh, it's great that you are working to further parental education. The obvious question, given your stated subject matter, is what will you be communicating that USA Hockey isn't communicating already? Or is the material the same and you don't feel enough people have been reached? Or do you have ...

Depends on the kid and if it's a positive experience. Remember, there's only one answer!

For a kid to be passionate, it's the parent who fosters the positive opportunities. Often though, it's the parent who creates a miserable experience. So it requires constant calibration in any endeavor. Make hockey a positive experience and they'll develop the passion. I've found it's up to the pare...

How important is year around training? 1. skating & working skills 2. playing team games vs 3x3 3. weights & running Or should they have time off, just to be a kid. Much of that depends on the chronological age of the athlete. At certain ages training is more important. For instance, you me...

Starting young helps too. I actually like ADM. Moving from a crappy association is probably a good idea too! This falls into good coaching and being with like minded people. To borrow from an often quoted article on this site: Intense Parents + Young Kids + Rigorous Technique + Toughness = Talent D...

I completely respect your argument and do understand that parents are important in the successful development of a hockey player (just as they are in the emotional, academic, or any other developmental aspect of a child). However, they are not as important as the passion and committment of the indiv...

Committed Parents are the #1 key I disagree actually. Committed parents often ruin hockey careers, especially in Minnesota. I'd say that instead of having committed parents, a more important ingredient would be having a passionate and committed player. Spending more money on camps or training sessi...
