At The Next Level I want to focus on you and your needs by listening first. Then I will try to understand how you feel and what you are trying to achieve leading me to use some of my experiences in your problem areas to fix them. It is impossible for me to list all the things I can guide you on, but below are some examples of what I have been doing to help players and their families. As parents or players in sports, have you ever wondered who could you ask to get the answer you need?  That answer is with me.

- As a parent, have you found yourself wondering if you are teaching your children the right things on and off the ice? 
- As a parent, are you saying the right things in the car on the way home after a game to help your children build confidence and self-esteem?
- As a parent, do you have the answers when your children ask questions like,
                         - Some of my teammates tease me, what can I do to defend myself or stop it?
                         - I feel my coach is always telling me the wrong things, are they wrong or right, and how do I handle that?
                         - In these game situations, am I in the right position?
                         - I feel tired, am I eating the right foods on game day and the night before?
                         - Do I focus on my strengths and try to forget about my weaknesses so I play more confident hockey?
                         - Is my strength and flexibility where it needs to be?
                         - Is my on ice training sufficient? Is my off ice training sufficient? Am I doing the right exercises for me?
                         - What route best suits me? - Prep school, Junior leagues, N.H.L, E.C.H.L, A.H.L, College, Europe, and what are the disadvantages and advantages to all of them?
                         - What are some tricks on the ice I can do to simplify my game and become better?
                         - Am I big enough? Am I fast enough? Is my shot hard enough? My passing is not accurate, what are some things I can do?

Based on all of my years of experience, along with the network of hockey people I have worked with, we can come up with a plan to help you get to the "Next Level"

Trust

What I will do is earn your trust. Without having the trust factor present, it is very hard to fix the problems that face my clients and their families. I will earn that trust with characteristics such as, honesty, intergrity, respect, results and my 30 years of experience.

My Focus

Simple, my client's success. That is my top priority from the moment we sit down and set forth our plan together. My client and their families are the centerpiece of my business, and as I did through my hockey career I take that very seriously.

 The feeling of winning a gold medal for my country was something I will never forget.

Below is Mike Pelino of the New York Rangers. He is just one of so many coaches I have learned so much from. Now it is my turn to teach you. Please enjoy the rest of my site and I look forward  to having the chance to talk with you.
