I was most recently talking to a high school coach and mentioned that I want “performance” from my players – and if I got it I didn’t care if we won the game or not. The coach asked me to define “performance” and did I really think that was the only thing that mattered.My response went something like what I’ve written below.

As I have coached most of the levels of hockey (Mite to college) over the years, the 2-on-1 has always been a key prediction of whether my team would be successful or not. When I start with any team at any level, I always run 2-on-1 drills to see how many players understand the concept – and how to take advantage once they have it (the advantage of 2-on-1). Most don’t know how – at all levels.
