Re: Michigan Tech 2017-18 The Joe Shawhan Era Continues - Getting Better Everyday
He WAS a goalie! He hasn't played a game that means anything in 30+ years. Today's athletes are different than 30 years ago and coaching styles have changed. You used to be able to ramrod a guy in to performing or you just kicked them aside. Most guys don't respond to that style any more at any level. With the whole anti-bullying movement, the if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all mentality, I think the athletes are more sensitive to criticism and negative feedback. Right or wrong it's the world we live in and the coach (or boss/leader, etc.) that learns to coach or lead in it will be successful. The guy that wants to stay in the "my way or the highway" days will most likely find himself kicked to the curb eventually.
