9 Games

9 Games. How can anyone be judged on 9 games? How can you make a difference? How can you establish new routines? How can you turn things around? How can you create a new identity? How can you meet expectations?  How can you change seemingly everything when everyone expects you to win while changing everything? How can you survive in that environment? 

9 games. 540 minutes. 

You see everyone will see the results in the game, but they never see the work behind the scenes, the connections made, the honesty shared, the accountability upheld, that’s where the biggest strides are made. 

Coaching changes are never easy, a new voice in turmoil spawns a new beginning, a fresh start, but under the surface lives doubt, negativity, blame and the most damaging of all old habits. 

9 games, to turn it all around. 

A 9 game audition is all some people need to change the direction of a group.

No one should be judged on a 9 game stint, they should be judged on the connections they make every day with their players and that’s exactly how Brian Casey is going to make a difference. 

A 9 game audition, but every player in that room will know exactly what is expected of them as an individual and as a group. They will know exactly where they stand and what  their role is. That’s how create a team identity, that’s how you make a difference in a short time. 

Success isn’t always based on winning, it’s based on the amount of change a person is willing to make to become successful. 

Everyone is in search of the winning formula, you can’t fake that shit, you can’t cultivate it or try to brand it in some “business” like model way.

Brian Casey shouldn’t be judged on the win or loss column even though he will be, he should be judged on the level of connectivity he creates and that’s exactly what he will do and you know what, the players will feel that connection from a heart and soul coach like “Case” almost instantly. That’s authenticity, that’s the reality, honesty and leadership that Brian Casey brings to any hockey club he’s associated with and that’s what makes him a great coach.
