What people are saying about The Best 26 Years of John Russo's Coaches' Corner:
“John's new book is a great source for coaches, parents, and participants in youth hockey and beyond. A wealth of information for all development and skill levels. I highly recommend it." - Youth Hockey Coach
“John, I've been reading a few pages of your book everyday since I received it. This morning, for the first time, I noticed the Golden Rules as they slid out from the back of the book. I read them and found them to be a wealth of knowledge in their own right. Then I sat down with my son at my desk and as I like to give him one suggestion each game, I shared Golden Rule #10 for Forwards with him. He scored a goal today by picking up a pass in the high slot and coming thru the high seam. But what was really cool was that when we were getting in the truck, after the game, he said, "Dad, when I was in the slot, I pictured me sitting at your desk and reading the Golden Rule we talked about this morning". He was pumped!! He learned something this morning that helped him understand his position better and boosted his confidence a ton. Even his coach commented to him that he was really thinking out there today.
Thank you for this amazing book. I think as people read it, and get to know it, you are going to have a best seller. It is so easy to read and yet so relevant. I plan to use the Parents Letter for my team next year. Thank you.” - Hockey parent
“Hi John, that's a great article you have in the LPH, Feb 25. Trying new things in practice. I grew up playing hockey in Austin, MN. I was a Pee Wee in the Mid 70's. I went to all High School Games and Jr. A games in town when not on the ice with my team or outside skating with my friends. Lou Vairo was the coach of our Jr. A team. He was a creative genius influence heavily by Tarasov and the Russian hockey system. I watched practices and saw them doing dry-land. It was unbelievable. I can't believe how lucky I was to have such a great coach to learn from. You are spot on and your article is very inspiring to me as a person and a coach. Thank you!” - Reader
