"R-O-C-K!"
By Paul Lubanski
R = RELENTLESS
0 = OVERWHELMING
C = CONSISTENT/CONSTANT
K = KEEP-AWAY
"We will--we will R-O-C-K you!"
Thanks Freddie Mercury. Probably never realized that you'd be aiding a hockey team's cause when you performed the afore-mentioned song initially back in 1977 (penned by your Queen's guitarist Brian May)--did you?
Anyway, today, I put forth another a simple and efficient method for inspiring your youngsters in an effective and easy-to-remember thus impactful fashion. Yes, with the help of--you guessed it-- Mr. Mercury.
We have all heard that song hundreds if not thousands of times and it still resonates with adults and children-alike today.
Why?
It implies a "team-accented" sort of "intentional/planned" domination of an opponent.
What a cool thought (if executed cleanly and safely)--and useful message indeed for a youth ice hockey coach to leverage.
And another great, very straight-forward mantra or rallying-cry for a youth ice-team to potentially adopt for an entire season.
Any coach can easily secure the "buy-in/commitment" of his/her players by requesting that "we R-O-C-K" the opposition today (and every match).
"Today boys/girls/team/ we flat-out R-O-C-K the our opponents via a " RELENTLESS, OVERWHELMING, CONSTANT & CONSISTENT KEEP-AWAY of the biscuit!"
Why not give it a try?
Oh, and it helps to have the actual song blaring in the dressing room as a lead-in to your pre-game. And, of course--after the contest rock'in loud and proud in celebratory fashion as well.
Best of luck.
