For those of you who are familiar with the Bravo series, Inside the Actor's studio, you will know that it is a television show that operates as a craft seminar. Actors, producers, Directors, Screenplay writers and even musicians, are invited to PACE University and converse on their careers, their triumphs, setbacks and the road to get there...things they have learned along the way...and, this is part of a 3 year Master of Fine Arts program. http://theactorsstudio.org/actors-studio-drama-school/
So, as we were designing the program at the Tiger Paw Elite Summer Hockey School, we talked about the prospect of helping our students learn from others than were further along in their development. Players that have made it to College Hockey, been drafted in the NHL, or have played Major Junior , gone to the Memorial Cup or Junior AAA (or equivalent), players who played in championship games at older levels.
We discussed the prospects of having hockey personnel, ( Coaches , General Managers, Player Personnel Directors) from higher levels talking about what they are looking for in players at their level. Bring in sports nutirition people to discuss how to fuel the students body as an elite athlete.
Have sports psychology people discuss the different aspects of mental focus, recovering from mental setbacks due to mistakes, lack of utilization, team discipline.
And, so with the Inside The Actor's Studio program as a template we built Championship Habits. Its a different approach that help the students prepare better for their next level.
