All great success is preceded by great failure. In order to succeed, you must first fail. Repeatedly. It feels like the team breaks too easily any time we have a setback. I feel like it's the end of the world every time we get scored on, even though I know that's ridiculous. I desperately want the Yotes to succeed. The boys have shown us repeatedly that they can beat all 31 other teams no matter who's on the ice, so it seems like this is more of a mental battle than physical. I wish I knew what to say to help them overcome this hurdle. Here's an attempt:
"What stands in the way becomes the way." – Marcus Aurelius. Injuries, self-doubt, and turnovers appear to be what stand in the way of more wins. There have definitely been times when next-man-up was phenomenal. I see the great effort in spurts. So now what do you need to do to make yourselves more consistent? It feels like you're so close. So many losses this year have been one-goal games. Remember that. You're hanging in there to the very end. What's that last push you need to convert those wins?
I wish I could give every last player a hug and personalized words of encouragement. I'm a former teacher and coach. I love identifying the potential I see in others and helping them achieve it. It's amazing what individuals and teams can accomplish when supported by belief, both internal and external. I believe in everyone on the roster and the entire coaching staff. There's been so much great progress ever since Bear and crew entered the scene. You've all made it into the NHL for one reason or another. Your current situation isn't a mistake or out of pity. You've proven yourself. Remember that.
Cooley, you're fast and slick with the puck. Once you dial into NHL game pace, you're going to create that time and space to pile on the goals. Your future is bright. Veggie, we know you have so much to offer in net. Put some pine tar on your pads so you stay in the crease 😛 And as for everyone else on the team, I've neither played nor coached hockey, so I defer to your coaches for something intelligent to say. Still, I'm rooting for your success and churning out a season you're proud of, cup or no cup. There's not much of a point to winning if there's no joy in the process.
And as far as turnovers, you and your coaches know what to do to clean that up. Mistakes will still happen no matter what. You're human, and hockey is a game of mistakes and inches. You've capitalized on other teams' mistakes and vice-versa. Remember to stick to the plan whenever you're feeling frustrated.
