Episode 280 - Common Components of Elite College and Professional Teams

On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast, Topher is flying solo! Back in 2011, Toph was on staff at Miami of Ohio as a Graduate Assistant and wrote his Masters Thesis on the Key and Common Elements of Successful College and Professional Programs and Coaches. Without a ton out (at that time) from a hockey-specific perspective, Toph turned to some of the all-time great coaches and programs: John Wooden, Coach K, Vince Lombardi, Phil Jackson, Tony Dungy, Lou Holtz, Pat Riley, Bill Walsh, Jim Tressel, and more! In this episode Toph hits on: — Big emphasis on people and personal relationships — Always had a look at the bigger picture (forward thinkers) — Different characteristics that these coaches possessed that set them apart — Habits (as individuals and what they preaches to their teams) AND SO MUCH MORE!
