How Not To Coach: 101
Team Canada absolutely demolished Team Switzerland in the World Junior Hockey Championship’s quarter final. None of us are surprised, especially after the Swiss coach basically threw in the towel before the game even started. In pre-game interview, Christian Wohlwend said this about Canada, “They’re fast, they’re bigger, they’re stronger. They can shoot better, they can pass better, they can do everything better”. I grew up playing a bunch of different team sports, and we weren’t really that great at any of them. But not once did any of my coaches throw us under the bus like this, even when our Double A teams were taking on the big city clubs. Although one of my hockey coaches used to wear his championship jacket from another team he previously coached while standing on our bench. I thought that was funny. Watch the video to take a solid lesson on how not to coach for any sport at any level.
