Daniel:
“Brian is very good at showing that everything you do, even dishes, it should always be quality work.  If you have an ego, you’ll fall hard and fast.  He’s taught me how to be strong both physically and mentally:  physically with steps, hills and weights and how to use it properly, and mentally I have a better knowledge about myself and my life and what I want to do.  I got more determine than ever with my goals.”

Peter:
“Brian is tough and taught us that if what we do is not quality it’s not worth doing.  He also gave us mental feed-back after our dryland sessions.  It was cool to train with NHL-players,  junior-A players and kids that are really motivated.

Anna:
“One major thing I noticed after the camp was that everything they did with dryland and their training had a measuring point.  They would compare everything they did to what they had done at Brian’s and determined whether it was worthwhile or not.  Bottomline in all of these comparisons is the insight they reached:  that it is entirely up to them.  Each exercise done correctly is one more step towards their goal.  They are so much more mindful and determined than they were before.”

Also, I have Daniel with me in Toronto for three weeks between October 17 and November 5.  If you can fit us into your schedule during this time, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Anna.

I am a part of the coaching staff for the Minor Bantam Huron Perth Lakers hockey team. Recently, Brian spoke to our team at the season opening mini camp. He was there for two hours. The quality of Brian’s presentation and interaction with the kids was the highest and most productive I have ever seen. He quickly attained and kept their full attention(not easy to do with 13 year olds) and before Brian left our team had taken big steps in becoming at peace with each other and were eagerly looking forward to the coming season with past ‘baggage’ having been fully placed behind them. Brian’s ability to ‘cut’ through the BS and deal with the ‘real’ issues is second to none. Brian…thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your professionalism and experience with a bunch of kids who walked away feeling much better about themselves and each other. Very Impressive!

Very few people are really interested in their own development as a person. We have made our development based on being successful in the world of acquiring money and power within the external world. Happiness is not in the fulfillment of desires or the ability to acquire. That is the source of our pain. What gives you the most pleasure gives you the most pain. To develop yourself is to forget  your own demands and meet the needs of the ones you love, not to get returned love, because love itself is its own expression and movement. And this itself is freedom, and not freedom from something!

Theory has its root meaning in the word theater, and it means “to view”. The root meaning means of the word “facts” is what is actually happening. When we look at our life from the point of theories we get lost because we are caught in the state of comparing. When we live out of facts we live from what is happening and therefore in relationship to what is going on all the time.  The poison of psychology is looking at life through the background of some theory which is full of prejudice.

If we are going to understand ourselves we need to look at the position of our life with clean eyes that have set aside all prejudice. This means we start to become the author and originators of our own life rather than carbon copy units that have lost all passion and authentic creative living.  Doing this allows you of course to be very dangerous to institutions and the rules that most of society lives by and governs people’s lives. Most people are very superficial and shallow, they view their perspective of life from a purely economic viewing  point. Others hold to  a religious viewpoint based on some theory laid down by some thousand year old religion, some guru or, some millionaire self help intellectual energy healer.

True Religious People  live in the dimension  of facts and are not caught in the web of tradition ritual or methods. They have set them all aside, not as a reaction but because of insight. That insight is the dimension that is outside the field of tradition making and sees through all the falseness of ritual. All ritual is the ego mind trying to find security from the painful life which one is leading, and it is trying to carve a path to some experience that is over or some dead thing. It is impossible to carve a path to something that is alive and moving, renewing itself and not dependent on anything. It is free to be as it is without hindrance or limits. You can only carve a path to something that is dead and rooted. That  which is truly religious, like compassion, is without limit, boundary or anyone’s use or manipulation. All theories are caught in the web of their own making. Facts are always undergoing a transformation!

With regards to all relationship: We can learn as important things from a relationship that doesn’t work as from something that does.

Hockey Parents Workshop Schedule

When: Saturday, Aug. 6, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cost: $75+HST or $100+HST per family, includes lunch

Instructor: Brian O’Reilly

Brian O’Reilly is a high-performance coach who works with elite athletes around the world. For the past 35 years, Brian has coached university students, high school students, business executives, professional and Olympic athletes; giving them the tools required to develop relationships needed for success.

From a parent’s perspective, Brian definitely understands the challenges and joys of hockey families since all four of his kids are hockey players. His eldest daughter, Tara, is now captain of her university hockey team; his younger daughter Shannon plays women’s junior hockey; and both of his sons, Cal and Ryan O’Reilly are NHL players.

The art of coaching is the ability to remove all adversarial relationship within and around the team. This fosters the spirit of cooperation. Only then can people focus on quality! Teams that can produce quality at will succeed. Quality has many conditions and the most important one is teaching the love of the game and playing from that love. A coach’s job is to love and love is what teaches in the quickest way. If we are always pounding drills and systems into players it is a indication that love is far removed from what we are doing because quality is nowhere in sight. Love teaches how we do what we do. Quality teaches why we do it. The relationship between the two is essential and never ending. Void of love, ego’s prime directive is all about winning at any cost, which creates people defining themselves by their performance. The highest form of sport is to use athletics as a tool to develop as a person and shed the skin of external psychology. When love is the perfume of all our activities quality is in each and every moment and so is relationship. Relationship is the most important thing in life because without it Ego the heart of external control is the manure that kills cooperation.  So love those kids and that love, if its there, will teach. This love is the great influence  in each and everyone’s life. That is why five people that care about each other will do the work of fifty people that don’t.
