FROM THE BOOK

"Here's what I've seen over and over, with every family I've worked with and with my own two kids: the players who keep climbing and the ones who stall out, it's almost never about skill. I've watched talented kids lose ground because nobody ever taught them what to do after a bad tryout, a benching, a slump."

"I'm not a sports psychologist, and I didn't write this as some clinical breakdown. I wrote it as someone who's been in it, with other families and with my own."

"Out of every ten shifts a kid takes, how many are actually good shifts? Not goals. Not highlight-reel plays. If a kid is doing that on 5 out of 10 shifts, it doesn't matter how much talent is there. I want to see 8, 9 out of 10. That's the separator."
