In episode #260 of the Glass and Out Podcast, Ryan Warsofsky, Assistant Coach for the San Jose Sharks and presenter at the upcoming TCS Live, stops by.
At just 36-years-old, Warsofsky just completed his first season behind an NHL bench after climbing the coaching ladder at a rapid pace. That includes time as a Head Coach in the ECHL and AHL, two Calder Cup championships and an ECHL record for fewest goals against in a season during his first season leading the South Carolina Stingrays.
He’s one of the top up and coming coaches in the game and is highly regarded by his peers in the industry. It will be fun to follow his coaching journey from here.
Listen as he shares why coaches need to find releases to deal with anxiety, the importance of creating a process to avoid negativity, and why practice habits become game reality.
