Though having trained a few hockey players at work... saying yes coach for 10-15 years through childhood really gives them the ability to think for themselves and solve problems...

Years ago it was only for the amateurs but now from curling to snow board cross these people are making a living out of ther sports. I am all for having the amateurs play but you have to admit that the level of compition has increased by having these payed athletes out there. I still love the spirt of the amateurs though.
