It's more stories like this I believe should be shared instead of the sensationalized stuff we see today. <BR/><BR/>I believe in the old coaching axiom that whenever you do something like score a touchdown, hit a three-pointer, get a sack or make any other great play, you should, "act like you've been there before."<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17370252221666384654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277316318931903639.post-84100648209705576632009-01-15T14:27:00.000-06:002009-01-15T14:27:00.000-06:00Not so long ago, my son participated on a hockey t...Not so long ago, my son participated on a hockey team that led the state in number of penalties that season. It was a team of young teenagers, most from frustrating personal circumstances and they had trouble controlling their anger at the world at the best of times. They were even more challenged in the constant bump and grind of a hockey game. One game, the biggest hothead of the team was blasted right in front of the other team's bench. The opposing players taunted him as he struggled to regain his feet and his stick. His coach, fearful of an impending altercation, shouted encouragement to him to get back to the play. Shocking everyone, including the other team, the kid not only did that but took a pass from a teammate and immediately scored. If ever there was a time a kid should showboat that was it - not because of the goal but because of the way he proved to himself he owned his emotions. Yet he simply skated back to the bench where his coach patted him on the back and told him quietly, "way to talk back with your great game". <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what the opposing coach told his kids - but judging by the behavior allowed on his bench it was a teachable moment for all.Speak(er)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00739156252885244499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277316318931903639.post-45943076399017494502008-09-01T21:23:00.000-05:002008-09-01T21:23:00.000-05:00pretty flashy but hey!
