What qualities, besides technique and physical conditioning, distinguish a player who is truly making progress?

Answered by HockeyStaff Head Coach Anton Tsipan:

• Concentration, Attention, and Asking Questions
  It is always just one thing — concentration and attention. And it is very important to encourage a child’s desire to ask questions so that they are not afraid to do so and try to understand the nuances of each exercise.
• Focus Driven by a Passion for Hockey
  But focus without desire doesn’t work. Love for hockey, focus — and from there comes immense desire.
