Chuck GRILLO=

Objective

Player development and Sco= uting go hand in hand. Helping people help themselves – We would like the end result to be a detail person, one capable of critiquing themselves on a dai= ly basis, and one who cares about others while they maximize their potential. = This is how Cups are won.

Fuel for the Make Up Of a Winner

I have been in development for over 40 years now. I lost interest in the fantasy of sports not long after I started because I discov= ered image through perception was the furthest thing from what is real.&nbs= p; I lost interest because I discovered real fast that image through perception = was taking over in our society. I was witness to companies failing because people and athletes got caught up in perception and image being more important than substance and reality. Companies are people driven and perception and sound bytes just do not cut it. Image resulting from substance is what we are looking for.

In my later years I have been consumed by the tragedy of sports, especially in the area of development. We have done the best we can d= o with the knowledge we have at our camp. As the years go by, we find we need more and more knowledge. This stems from observing both highly skilled and supposedly predictable players, as well as those with a blend of upside= and skill, who fail to become what others believe and/or predicted they would be.

We go through life and change is inevitable. W= hile there is no harm in change, philosophies are updated as we get older. Our attitude changes as we gain experience and learn more. There is no ha= rm in updating our philosophies and beliefs. In doing so, we can't expect everyone to believe in what we do. Some simply are not interested in = what we do and do not want to put in the hours necessary to have a value paid, v= alue received experience. We can accept that, but we still feel the n= eed to speak our piece.

We have continued to preach that open-mindedness and willingness= to grow is the right way to go. When we are satisfied, repeating ourselv= es or failing to progress, we should get out of the development business and do something else. We can all learn something about ourselves when we ta= ke time to digest the beliefs of others. Nothing about us shou= ld be predictable outside of our willingness to learn and get better.

The big message is still, "What do I have to do to take my = game and life to the highest level? What will insure or guarantee our success?" Training properly during the summer months is an insur= ance policy to succeed and still carries no guarantee. It is human nature to get up every morning to “Be whom and what we are”. We need to acquire a habit of gett= ing up every morning to “Be as much as we can be”.<= /p>

It's not all bad to be provocative because it makes people think. We have an opinion and we know we put ourselves in a position to attract scorn from people with different beliefs= in what we do. This is what makes it all so special. The bottom li= ne is there are too many examples of career tragedies to ignore what is happen= ing right in front of our own eyes. This would not happen if a training regimen was laid out to a point where young people felt it was not only fun= but required for success.

I love to dea= l in the letter “C”. Cereb= ral enough to make good Choices, Compassion for others, Curiosity to learn, Composure to put the past behind and perform in the present while answering your Critics, Confidence in our abilities, Communication skills like speaki= ng and listening, Commitment to the task and Competitively mean where you win = all the little battles. All of th= is forms our Character and ability to perform in Critical moments. We need to develop an attitude abo= ut life so we can walk with the swagger and the Charisma we need to work our w= ay through life. All this is nec= essary beyond any skills we have.

If we can mak= e a commitment to everything we do, we can stay competitive and thrive. That is what I have managed to do.=

The neat thing about being competitive, whether in business or a sport, is the opponent is just like you. There is a great deal of respect for competitors who take their assets to the highest level. You com= e to realize that these competitors could end up being your best friends after y= ou shake hands and begin to share what works in developing people and players.

We go in to all this knowing we are setting ourselves up to be critiqued and criticized; no different than a player who makes a statement during a shift on the ice.=
