SHORT SHIFTS - PREGAME PEP TALK

On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast, Topher is flying solo! Back in 2011, Toph was on staff at Miami of Ohio as a Graduate Assistant and wrote his Masters Thesis on the Key and Common Elements of Successful College and Professional Programs and Coaches.

Without a ton out (at that time) from a hockey-specific perspective, Toph turned to some of the all-time great coaches and programs: John Wooden, Coach K, Vince Lombardi, Phil Jackson, Tony Dungy, Lou Holtz, Pat Riley, Bill Walsh, Jim Tressel, and more!

In this episode Toph hits on:

— Big emphasis on people and personal relationships

— Always had a look at the bigger picture (forward thinkers)

— Different characteristics that these coaches possessed that set them apart

— Habits (as individuals and what they preaches to their teams)

AND SO MUCH MORE!
