In episode #234 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome Sean Goldsworthy, Head Coach at Minnetonka High School, the reigning AA State Champions in Minnesota.
Last season, Minnetonka HS captured the title with a 2-1 win over rival Edina High School in the State Tournament in front of a sold out crowd at the Xcel Energy Centre. This was the second state title under Goldsworthy's watch.
Listen as he shares how uses the 'multiple puck' practice tactic, why culture is a non-negotiable, and how to prepare your team for the big stage.
