Habs coach Marty St. Louis today on Ivan Demidov: “You gotta be careful (not) to overcoach those type of players. You have to have some foundations and non-negotiables…Once they check those boxes, you kinda get out of the way a little bit…” “Those guys they coach themselves. They correct themselves…I don’t wanna take the stick out of their hands. Next thing you know, you crowd their brain, the elite players now become average, cause they don’t play with anticipation and they’re always asking ‘what does the coach want to do here?’”

Like many others, been saying it for years. Anyone who discourages your child from playing multiple sports does not have your child’s best interests in mind. Period.

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time. Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak. The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

Canadians tend to be understated. We're proud of our country but don't shout it from the rooftops. One silver lining of the mad times we live in now is seeing Canadians celebrate one another and become more comfortable about being patriotic. I hope it sticks. Great job with this video Tim!🇨🇦

Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart. It's made with deep gratitude for the people and places of this beautiful land. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦❤️✌️💪 vimeo.com/1056619122/f6e…

Mark McMorris just keeps winning X-Games medals. He won a silver today in Aspen, Colorado. McMorris is the most decorated athlete in Winter X-Games history, now with 24 medals. The snowboarder from Regina, now 31 years old, just keeps delivering.

Nick Saban explaining and defining athletic instincts is maybe the most fascinating thing I’ve ever heard. All sports fans, listen to this:

The Miracle on Ice was 44 years ago today. In 2017, Ryan Suter wrote about his dad’s legacy: “The best lesson I think people can take from my dad is his humility. He was a part of the single greatest moment in American sports history. But he never talked about it. He never wanted any glory. He was happy to go sweep the floors at the end of the night.⁠ ⁠ He never wanted to be a local legend. But he became one anyway. He did it his way.⁠ ⁠ I know that he was proud of what I accomplished in hockey, but honestly I think he was the most proud whenever he saw me around my wife and kids. He just loved being a grandpa, and he couldn’t sit still. That was perfect for the kids. We’d all go out to dinner and whenever my kids would be getting restless, he’d say, ‘Hey kids, what do you say we go outside?’⁠ ⁠ And they’d go on their little adventure together.⁠ ⁠ I don’t know why, maybe it was because he had been to the top of the mountain, but to him, hockey was just … it was just fun. It wasn’t about glory.⁠ ⁠ I remember before I left with Team USA for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, he said, ‘Ahh, you guys gotta win this so they can finally stop talking about us.’⁠ ⁠ And he was really serious.⁠ ⁠ I’ve still never watched the Miracle game against Russia. We have the DVDs somewhere, but I don’t know if I’ll ever watch it. It’s not what my dad would’ve wanted. I honestly don’t think he ever watched it, either.⁠ I can just see him saying, ‘Watch it? I played in it. Let’s go to the rink.’ There’s a song that comes on the radio a lot, and whenever it does, I get a little bit emotional. It’s a Tim McGraw song, and the last line sums up my father in five words. ‘Always stay humble and kind.‘ I can’t think of better advice for anybody. My dad is my hero. But I’m not proud of him because he was the guy who won the gold medal in 1980. I’m proud of him because he was the guy sweeping the floors in the locker room, and the guy who taught hundreds of kids how to play the great game of hockey, and the guy who was a hell of a dad to me and my brothers. You were one of a kind.”playerstribu.ne/ForMyDad

Why do the best coaches do? Rhule: “The best coaches can listen. I’m so tired of walking by own coaches meetings and hearing seminars. The best coaches ask questions. The best coaches create conversations. They are minimum effective dose.”

Great sound from Dame reflecting on the selflessness that was instilled in him growing up, and how it impacts him navigating life as a famous basketball player.
