Based in Minnesota, he also serves as the High Performance Psychology Director for the Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, and the University of Minnesota's Leadership U program.
Back in September, he joined us at TCS Live Minnesota, which we hosted in partnership with the Minnesota Wild, and presented on The Hidden Skill Behind Consistency, Confidence, and Competitive Grit: Attention.
How we leverage our attention is a choice we make every second of every day. The best coaches and athletes in the world, whether they know it or not, have mastered the ability to focus their attention and block out the noise.
Members of The Coaches Site can check out his presentation here.
Listen as he shares the problem with identitying as an athlete, how to divert your attention away from negativity, and the power of sharing fears and insecurities.

In episode 338 of the Glass and Out Podcast, Coachella Valley Firebirds assistant coach Stu Bickel stops by to chat.
Bickel is a great example of a coach who has taken all the information he was fed as a player, evolved it, and made it his own as he has embarked on his coaching journey.
Bickel grew up just outside of Minneapolis and would go on to star for Eden Prairie High School. After two seasons in the USHL, he joined his hometown University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, but after one season, as an undrafted free agent, he decided to bet on himself and make the jump into professional hockey. The move paid off, as in his fourth season, he appeared in 69 games with the New York Rangers.
While not formally a coach at this stage, we sense that the first player he ever coached was himself. He needed to define his strengths and weaknesses and evolve his game into one that would enable him to contribute on a nightly basis in the National Hockey League.
That is now a job he's doing full-time today, developing defencemen for the NHL's Seattle Kraken, the parent club of the Firebirds.
Listen as he shares his process for improving defencemen, the importance of being good on the breakout, and the power of video as a teaching tool.

In episode 337 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome Rod Braceful, Director of Player Personnel for the US National Team Development Program.
Braceful is responsible not only for identifying the top teenage talent from across the US, but also for helping assemble the U17 and U18 National Teams. If it all plays out as intended, these players will eventually go on to represent the US at the Olympics and other best-on-best competitions.
He was recently named General Manager of Team USA for the upcoming IIHF U18 World Championships in Slovakia. He previously held the same role for the US National Team that took home gold at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup last summer.
Prior to his current role, Braceful spent two seasons on the scouting staff with the Chicago Blackhawks and got his start in the USHL, first as a scout for the Sioux Falls Stampede and later as Director of Scouting for the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
Listen as he shares his approach to player evaluation, the identity portion of hockey IQ, and the importance of processing under pressure.

In episode 336 we're joined by Ryan Ward, Head Coach of the USHL's Youngstown Phantoms. 
Currently in his fourth season behind the Phantoms bench, Ward led his club to a Clark Championship in his first season, the first USHL playoff championship in franchise history. As this episode is published (April 8th, 2026), the Phantoms have just been crowned Anderson Cup Champions, awarded to the USHL club with the best regular season record. 
Equally impressive, Youngstown has produced 10 NHL draft picks during his tenure and it's expected the program will hear more of their players' names called at the upcoming NHL draft. 
Ward has enjoyed a unique journey to his current post, which included time as an NHL video coach with the New York Islanders, an assistant coach with the club hockey team at the University of Rhode Island, time in the OHL and AHL, leading an elite prep school, and overseeing player development for the USHL's Tri City Storm.
Listen as he shares the incredible story of taking on an NHL video coach role, finding your foundational identity, and the importance of learning how to teach the fundamentals.
