On today’s SHORT SHIFTS episode, Toph wants to talk about something that most people don’t like to talk about: politics in youth hockey. Sometimes politics are real, but often the perception of politics is the bigger issue. Join us to discuss the things you can do as a parent, coach, or organization to make the experience better for everyone involved.

This week Topher and Jeff talk with John O’Sullivan, founder of Changing the Game Project. O’Sullivan’s new book, “Captain: The Athlete’s Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader,” is designed to help athletes learn how to lead. He joins the podcast to explain that leadership is a skill that can be obtained through hard work.

In this episode we talk about:

— How coaches can develop their leaders in the locker room

— Setting a competitive standard as a coach

— Captains operating as the “middleman” between the coach and players

— Being a thermostat, not a thermometer

AND SO MUCH MORE!

On today’s FRIDAY FACEOFF episode, Toph wants to talk about our advice and perspective for coaches that don’t have higher-level playing experience. We use Jon Cooper, head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning and recent winner of the Jack Adams Award, as an example of the success you can have, even if you feel like your playing experience is an obstacle.
