What was it like being coached by Wayne Gretzky?
- HillaryBriss 9y agowhat they don't say: your teammates will stop passing to you if you miss 99.98% of the time.
- emodendroket 9y agoI'll bet a whole bunch of people repeated that one without attribution, especially if they were stinking hockey coaches.
- 1001101 9y agoOur coaches were pretty solid - this was a prep program coached by former NHL players/coaches that has turned out 68 draft picks in the last 20 years, incl 2 first overall - players for whom the maxim may apply :). Context was a discussion of save pct as a function of hole 1-5. 5 hole was the best, not taking a shot was worst. Yes, there are certainly nuances to this, but, taking the simplified case, I think the metaphor fits.
