bringing back the glory: On the value of coaches as teachers

http://bringingbacktheglory.blogspot.com/2015/03/on-value-of-coaches-as-teachers.html

Bringing back the glory. On the value of coaches as teachers. Holy shit, the head coach talks to his players? I ended up going off on a tangent on Lowetide. This morning, but since I haven't written anything in a while, I decided to re-post it here. 1) Lander. Full stop. He’s arrived. Handsome Devils, those Swedes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bringing back the glory. Guest Post: On Cowardice (or why Don Cherry needs to ride off into the sunset). This weekend, a sad old man berated a 21 year old kid for being a coward. And as one is listening to the folks around the table incoherently ramble their way through in exposing just how little they know about geopolitics or the macroeconomic sphere, their fear becomes apparent. Is that a suit or my Bubbie's sofa? Don Cherry was berating Yak for what he thought was a dirty hit. Projects of the 1960's.

Bringing back the glory. Memo from the Travel Desk 3 - Hippies and Hospitality. In about three months, the only viable plant life will be the cacti in the distance. The weeds, flowers, shrubs and crops will all come back again in the winter, but this really is a farm in the desert. I look forward to a return visit when there is nothing but sand and dust (and mud huts! Hockey game. Win or lose, I hope it will be an experience my new friends will remember. Memo from the Travel Desk 2 - Kingdom of Fear.

Bringing back the glory. Black Panthers and Bombs: Travel Desk volume 4. Good: Meeting a member of the Israeli Black Panthers yesterday. More on that later. Bad: What many around these parts have characterized as a "real Israeli" experience, by which I mean rockets. For those that don't know, Purim is basically Jewish Halloween and its an actual Mitzvah to get so drunk you don't know right from wrong on this holiday. True story! Yeah, welcome to the new normal. 1) Everyone is healthy. For the last few ye...

Bringing back the glory. Cap hits, contract negotiations and commodity fetishism. So it's come to this, the blog as a teaching tool. I can honestly say I never thought this thing I used basically to complain about the team and game I love would ever be useful to anyone, let alone the basis for an assignment in a class I'm teaching. What has the world come to? Let's think about this for a moment–bad for the league? A league where billionaires routinely extract surplus value from the citizens of the cities...

Bringing back the glory. Are getting restless. Even the most optimistic fans and bloggers. Are starting to lose their composure and fall into the trap of pessimism, something I wrote about in my more prolific days, moonlighting at the CopperNBlue. The revolution that I was sort of blathering on about 3 years ago seems to be starting now, with the Fire Lowe campaign, the jersey tossing, and pessimism reigning over much of the Oilers Blogosphere (LT and maybe Black Dog.

Bringing back the glory. This is not a hockey post: Memo from the Travel Desk 1. Hello faithful readers. Sorry to disappoint but I am hijacking this space for a little while to try and work through some of the craziness that has become my temporary new life in the middle east. I'll get to the Oilers later on, but what really is left to say about their incredible suck? Welcome to the middle east. Post Script-On behalf of the rest of the FFT, I want to wish our comrade and friend BCB a speedy recovery from...

Bringing back the glory. And this is where we're at. Earlier today when I should have been grading my Sociology of Education papers), I wanted to share my MacT story. A simpler time. Certainly a better time. Anyhoo, here's what I wrote earlier, for good or for ill:. Why have the various coaching staffs all been tasked with saying/doing the same thing? Maybe the problem itself is that the strategy is all wrong, and that an actual new message is needed. And now the critiques:. I don't get it. They've d...

Bringing back the glory. Why a 6th overall pick is valuable? There are really only two positions in hockey: centre and defense. I know many of you will disagree and point to very good quantitative evidence that I am wrong. Most likely someone is typing up a reply about the existence of wingers and goalies. Actually, who am I kidding . . . no one is replying since that means someone would be reading this blog. Man, we could have got a third round pick back, too: stupid, stupid Tambo. PS: he is in jail and...
