Nick Skerlick is a veteran coach of the League of Opportunity, spending the past three years as a NAHL head coach. As Skerlick embarks on his first year coaching down South, he talks more about how important having trust and belief will be from his players.
“I think a goal right now is as long as every individual player's goals are met, I think anything is possible. If you can get 25 players that believe in you as a coach and have their best interests, you can accomplish virtually anything.”
