Summer camps 2010
I have seen a decline in the summer numbers across the
nation. I have spoken to people that have filled their camps in the past and are
having to cancel weeks, or entire offerings due to the poor registrations. We
are no exception.
Each year I have been here I have had a review of the season
and continuous discussions with the coaches and have built our summer programs
around our needs and greatest areas of improvement. I also have
offered a line-up of very specific skill development areas, for example Defense
and defensive tactics, Forwards and Forward tactics adding the visual component
of video to these classes to enhance transference and retention for the more
mature athlete. We have offered 3v3, now 5v5 to continue to “just play” and
enjoy the game without restraints by coaches and referees. We have continued the
need for development of the fundamentals with our new presentation of Stick
handling, power skating, as well as passing and receiving over an affordable 3
day clinic type setting that will dive into the details of each skill and
provide an exorbitant number touches, as well as teach the athlete bio feedback
to be able to take the skill to any setting and work from the foundation that
was taught. It has been a great spring, but it is now time to get
back on the ice in a low stress environment and get educated as the tryout
season is fast approaching. Will you be ready?

New for the
2009-2010 Season!
Introducing CSGHA
Captain's Council
Sept 26th we are having our kick-off coaches meeting
where your coaches will be given as much information as they can handle to make
your team and experience as successful and memorable as possible.
Along
with other educational opportunities your coaches will be asked to have their
captains in place by Oct 26th for the first ever CSGHA Captains Council! There
will be 4 gatherings on this side of '09 and 4 in 2010.
Should you earn
the honour of being one of your team's appointed leaders you will be apart of
the Captain's Councils that will meet Monday evenings on specific dates. You
will learn leadership concepts, the specific differences of being a hockey
captain vs other sports, meet other CSGHA captains as well as college hockey
captains and perhaps even professional captains. Guest speakers and workshops
will complete the program, as you will learn to problem solve, help in creating
your team's culture, learn to empower your teammates, learn fun team building
and learning to balance your needs and the needs of your team to achieve your
varied goals.
The dates of Captain's Council will be reflected on the
CSGHA Website
Stay tuned for more information...

Title: Lessons from the greats.
Cut from the high school basketball team. He went home, locked himself in his room and cried... Michael Jordan
Told by a teacher he was "too stupid to learn anything..." Thomas Edison
His fiance died, he failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown and was defeated in eight elections... Abraham Lincoln
His music teacher commented, "as a composer, he is hopeless..." Ludwig van Beethoven
His parents thought he was mentally retarded. His teacher told him "You will never amount to anything..." Albert Einstein
Turned down for an engineer's job at Toyota and unemployed, he built and sold scooters to neighbors to make ends meet... Soichiro Honda
He was a failure in school, and suffered from a speech impediment... Winston Churchill
What you can learn from this is quite obvious - it is YOU who makes your own luck and your own success... Circumstance or luck are excuses.
Whatever you want from life you have to go get it!
Success is not FINAL
Failure is not fatal
It is the courage to continue that counts.
-Winston Churhill

Eleven rules as denoted by Bill Gates in a speaking engagement he gave to a high
school assembly. Eleven things they will not and do not teach you in
school.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The
world won't care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to
accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about
yourself.
Rule 3 :
You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high
school. You won't be a
vice-president with a car and driver until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If
you think your teacher or coach is tough, wait till you get
a
boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your
Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called
it
opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault,
so don't
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before
you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that
way from paying your bills, cleaning your
clothes and listening to you talk
about how cool you thought you were. So
before you save the rain forest from
the parasites of your parent's
generation, try delousing the closet in your
own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and
losers,
but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades
and
they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.
This
doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real
life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't
get
summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you
FIND
YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT
real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go
to jobs.
Rule 11: Everything you can and say will be used against you in
the court of life. Choose your words and your actions wisely because everyday is
an interview
