Former NHL Head Coach Don Granato: Experimenting in practice, coaching less is the goal and switching from goalie to player

In episode #288, we welcome former NHL Head Coach Don Granato.

He is of course a member of possibly the most accomplished hockey family to come out of United States.  

He got his start coaching in 1993 with the Wisconsin Capitals of the USHL, and since then has been getting his reps in across a multiple of leagues and levels, most recently as the Head Coach of the Buffalo Sabres.

And as you'll hear, there may not be a better person to have a conversation about player development with. His story of how he positioned himself to enhance world class talent is fascinating.  We cover a lot of ground in this episode, and I sense you’re going to leave with pages of notes. 

Listen as he shares why experimenting in practice is key for team growth, why coaching less should be the objective, and the incredible story of switching from goalie to player.
