Interview 2
1. What is your background as a coach?
I started coaching in 1990 approximately. 25years ago. I have coached from age 6 thru 18. All levels from beginner to college & juniors. Many state championships, National championships, to International Peewee Championships.
2. How many teams have you coached? From each team, tell me an important experience that helped you become a better coach.
Well I have Coached over 40 teams over the years. Summer, and spring teams, High School JV &Varsity, Mites thru Midgets different levels. Getting to know my players, this is very important to me. Having a good feel for a player, their family, what they like to do, why they play, build a relationship with them. If I know what motivates a player and give them the respect they deserve they will do the same for me.
3. Can you ever truly master coaching? If not, how do you get to the best of your ability? Master coaching?
You have to decide what the ultimate goal is, winning? Building a relationship? Developing? Coaching to me what it says- you coach, mentor, teach, to provide a player with an experience so they can do the same for someone else. If you can show how much fun and passionate the experience is then all will want to do it.
4. I've heard many people say that coaching is an art. I am wondering how do you see coaching.
God has given me the ability to lead and coach. I utilize those talents and gifts to the best of my ability. I coach with expectations, but also with love. It is very important to put your arm around a player, during good and bad times. Also to gain the respect you have to give it.
5. What are your qualifications as a coach.
Played for 20 years, 25 years of experience, taken many classes and read books. Attended seminars, watch countless hours of video. Most important, I have faith in The Lord that he will be with all the time, which makes me qualified for any situation.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
1. I plan to help coach a youth hockey team, and be a goalie coach. I plan to train a goalie, and then track his G.A.A., or goals against average, to see if he has improved or not. My coaching skill will be the ones I developed so far. I would not have a mentor guiding me, telling me what to do. It would be my own thing.
2. I plan to get logs signed from the rink, take pictures, and record games and progress.
3. My topic already has a lot of depth to it, but this will give me a chance to see just how coaching is. I can see where I might need improvement, and also if it is meant for me.

Extra September Blog
For the month of September, I have cracked down to look for a mentor. sadly without any luck. I have contacted a few rinks and asked them if they know anyone that is willing to take in a kid all year as an apprentice. When you think about it that is a lot to ask of someone. 3 rinks have said they don't know of anyone that can. I am going to take a different approach, and see how that goes.

Blog 5 - Mentorship Reflection
1. I have not found a mentor yet, but I am looking to see if one of my past hockey coaches can do it. It is hard to find a coach that is in the area, and would be willing to take a kid to teach how to coach while coaching. I will find one soon though.... Hopefully.
2. I think the most important article I have read so far, was the article in my Legends book. It talked about how a lot of hockey's legends weren't always that great, but they had coaches that believed in them, and helped them improve on their skills. They kept working hard and practiced, and soon enough, they made it into the big leagues. The NHL. Not only did they make it, they became legends.
