Eric Hoffberg is my brother and a man to be admired. I'd promote him even if I wasn't related to him. From his website . . .
I have played and coached hockey for nearly 35 years. At age 27, I became the youngest head coach in college hockey. When I left college hockey after 14 years of coaching, I left as one of the top twenty coaches of all time and the winningest coach in the history of a storied hockey school. Except for two seasons, our teams turned in winning records (in my last 5 years as a head coach we lost an average of only two games a season) and regularly competed for the league and national championships.
Now I coach coaches (and "players" too) . . . people just like you who are responsible for helping others be the best versions of themselves that they can be. Some are in athletics, many more are in business.

Maybe you are a coach and you are looking for ways to build your team’s confidence or an individual player’s self-confidence. Maybe it is you who has an interest in feeling a sense of being in your “zone” more often and you know that greater levels of true confidence will help. Either way, if you are reading this, then you are on the right track because I have some ideas for you. Take them and make them your own. More than likely you know a lot of what I want to share, but needed a little bit of my torch to reignite your fire.
I hope that I can provide you some fire!
I like to keep things simple. Therefore I am big on things like checklists.
Below is a checklist for the development of self confidence. If you are consistent within the following concepts then you are going to find new and more powerful levels of self-confidence. The key point is that I believe that you don’t have to wait for positive results to become confident in who you are. True confidence needs to be based on something more than just
