"My younger brother and I worked with Coach Ian for an hour a day for three days in a row this summer. Somehow, in this short amount of time, he was able to analyze my weaknesses and share all of his knowledge around the areas that I really needed it. I have played hockey my entire life and have played for some unbelievable coaches. Regardless, at the end of those three hours I had some brand new skills, and more importantly, a solid understanding of where and when to use them. We also had a ton of fun working with him, and would do it again in a heartbeat!"

Am I a master? Uhh... no. But you have a solid cognitive understanding of the basics of the game. Now, you are ready to start learning! You can develop your style... put your energies into picking up skills, moves... maybe even start again in whole different position. Ever try playing D? Talk about giving you perspective of what it is like playing your position. Do it through the eyes of another. That's hard core.
