S70 PT#3: Let Ampersands and At-signs Fly

I'm on vacation right now so please excuse the bad spelling from my Phone and the occasional weird autocorrect or capitalization. In a Situation Like the one described, ideally the head Coach Doesnt even need to get involved. A Team that is functioning exceptionally Well would be able to self regulate and figure this out amongst themselves. The Captain and other Team Leaders might get involved to initiate conversation or Draw lines in the Sand and it would be made clear that Arguments Like the one Happening right now are hurting the Team as a whole. And that Team and the success the group ist chasing together is supposed to bei bigger than two squabbling individuals. However, that Kind of dynamic ist the exception, Not the Norm, and even intact Teams that are generally working Well together might need an authority figure to come in and Help resolve Things, If only by forcing a truce in the Parties involved. In Teams as big as a Hockey Team and its staff, Not everyone can get along with everyone, Sometimes peaceful coexistence between people who cant stand each other is all you can Hope for.

In order to address the disagreement between Julian and one of the coaches, it is essential to find a resolution that addresses the underlying issues and maintains a positive and productive working relationship. Julian has decided to ask his motivational coach for a simple 6-step plan that could lead to the resolution of this disagreement:

- Communication: The first step in resolving a disagreement is to communicate openly and honestly about the issue. Both the coach and the player should express their perspectives and listen to each other's concerns.

- Identify the underlying issue: It is important to identify the underlying issue that is causing the disagreement. Is it a difference in opinion about strategy, playing time, or behavior? Understanding the root cause can help in finding a mutually agreeable solution.

- Explore options: Once the issue has been identified, both parties should work together to explore potential solutions. Brainstorming and discussing different options can help in finding a resolution that works for both the coach and the player.

- Find common ground: It is important to find common ground and areas of agreement. This can help in building trust and finding a solution that both parties can support.

- Implement the solution: Once a resolution has been agreed upon, it is important to implement it promptly. Both the coach and the player should commit to following through on the agreed-upon solution.

- Follow-up: After implementing the solution, it is important to follow up and ensure that it is working. If necessary, adjustments can be made to ensure that the solution is effective.

Hopefully, by working together and finding a mutually agreeable solution, the coach and Julian can go back to having a positive and productive working relationship.

Written Task: Tell me about your player's reaction to a teammate or staff member rubbing them the wrong way at some point in their career. What was done to annoy them? How did they respond? Were they able to work past it? Did it devolve into an irretrievable shitshow? Whose fault was it? Who was the bigger person in the end? (150+ words)

While Uskjal has been known to be a cool, calm and collected player it has been reported that during his youth career he crossed paths with players that did rub him the wrong way. While with opponents these "feuds" begin and end on the ice for Uskjal there have been instances of him getting into it with teammates. One way to set Uskjal off is if you dont play to win, luckily most of Uskjals teams didnt consist of slouches that were interested in boozing than hockey, so iit hasnt become an issue. But Uskjal is also known to be a team first player, so a sure fire way to get on his bad side it by messing with the less popular or gifted members of the squad. When Uskjal was playing in the U18 one of his fellow teammates, a star player, decided it would be funny to prank a few of the backbenchers by unscrewing their Waterbottles tops and putting the guards back onto their skates during an important game. Next practice Uskjal made sure to put his training in checking to good use, and landed several open ice hits on his teammate, this lead to Uskal being suspended from practice, this only worsened the Spiral and Uskjal ended up sitting out the remainder of the season as he did not wish to play with such team mates.

Cormier isn't one to enjoy or seek out confrontation. When things irritate him, he's much more likely to keep it to himself unless it gets to a point that is disruptive to the team or his game. At the end of the day, Cormier knows that everyone is trying their best and they all really do have the same interest at heart. A lot of times when mistakes happen, they can easily be rationalized and Cormier doesn't take a stance of immediately assuming malice. That said, when things do get to a disruptive point, he isn't afraid to bring up the issue but always does so with some tact. there's no use in shaming, especially publicly, and a lot of times people may not know exactly how their actions are affecting others. Just having someone be willing to share that perspective with you without belittling you or making you feel inferior often has better results and Cormier knows this

It truns out Gnabe does not take kindly to teammates critisizing his goal and fight celebrations. Apparently there are people who are not a fan of the dab and as such at one point this season they treid to make fun of Gnabe. He was having none of it and decided it was time to teach the team to respect the dab. This resulted in a full scale lockerroom brawl where one or two players had to be sent to the hospital. A great time for everyone i am sure. After this event however the coaches finally stepped in and made sure to help the players grow as a team. They decided to, after a long bag skate, ensure that the team had a set of celebrations that would be allowed and not, and that anyone caught making fun of these celebrations was traded immidiatly. No one in Phily wants to leave really so this helped settle things for the moment. Gnabe was okay with this change as the dab was an allowed celebration, possibly due to gnabe hovering around the coach ready to fight him when the allowed celebrations were posted. Maybe that is why the dab is the only one that appears to be listed in pencil at the bottom of teh pgae.

Story Mode:

The coach came up to me about my response to our special teams' woes, and while I didn’t name any names, it was clear he knew I was talking about our assistant coach who runs the Power play and the penalty kill. I told him there wasn’t anything to smooth over, I like the guy, but the numbers speak for themselves, and that we need someone else to take care of the power play and penalty kill next season. The coach obviously, will try to put his foot down and assert himself as the leader and tell me that it’s his coaching staff and that he will make the decisions. I would simply say that that is his prerogative, but I will remember his choices when it comes time to re-negotiate my contract and it’s up to him if he wants to prioritize his assistant coaches over his star rookie. (This is all fictional I love playing for Hamilton)

PLAYER PROMPT Written Task: One common way that a teammate or staff member might annoy a player is by not pulling their weight or not fulfilling their responsibilities within the team. For example, if a player feels that a teammate is not working hard enough during practice or games, this could lead to frustration and tension within the team.

Another source of conflict could be communication breakdowns between players or staff members. If a player feels that a teammate or coach is not listening to them or not giving them the feedback they need, this could lead to resentment and mistrust.

In some cases, these conflicts can be resolved through open and honest communication. Players may sit down with each other or with a coach to discuss their concerns and find a way to move forward. They may also seek the help of a mediator, such as a team captain or a therapist, to help them navigate the situation.

However, in some cases, conflicts can escalate into irretrievable shitshows. If the players or staff members involved are unable to resolve their differences or refuse to make compromises, it could lead to a breakdown in team cohesion and a decline in performance. This could ultimately hurt the team's chances of success and damage the reputation of the players or staff members involved.

Oh boy Kawashima had a big argument with his team mate Rylie Versi. The two had been playing Stardew Valley together on the switch and eventhough Kawashima had expressed his interests in marrying Haley, Versi absolutely went ham on increasing his friendship levels with Haley to the point he was able to marry her. Just to spite Kawashima. Versi says it was because Kawashima had wasted their first few weeks of profit on useless items and that he was not playing like the true min maxer Kawashima said he was.

Kawashima says that the wasting of money was greatly exaggerated and that cracking geode's is just a part of the game, but Versi disagreed that it was a vital part of the early game.

The fighting went to head coach HFFO who told both players to not bother him anymore with nonsence that is happening in their fantasy games.

Despite not really having a resolution to the story, both team mates are back on speaking terms and just ignore the incident.

Player Prompt

Yeah Dusty Rhodes has run into his fair share of dipshits along the way in his career. I think it primarily has to do with the fact that Dusty takes no bullcrap and see things as either the right way to go about your bizness or the wrong way. And people that go about things the wrong way are pretty much frowned upon. Rhodes primarily tries to lead by example, going about his tasks doing things the way there are supposed to be done. And should anyone try and change or influence the way Dusty goes about things they are quite likely to be on the receiving end of a serious verbal smackdown. Rhodes doesn't do well with unprofessional behavior and after he's said his peace he just pretty much ignores those who don't do things the right way. And if he needs to he's not above going to management to voice his thoughts on how this person is a detriment to the organization.

Well this is an unexpected turn, Alexi Piastri and Starbucks barista Alexa Striasti seem to be getting along just fine these days, could the two be involved in a relationship that is affecting Alexi's production on the ice? It's been a few weeks since the pairs' alleged beef was reported by the SHL media, apparently stemming from an altercation from when both of them lived in Vegas. Piastri got off to a white hot start, leading SHL rookies and the Minnesota Monarchs in scoring, actually leading the Monarchs in pretty much every highly valued statistic. However, there are rumors that Alexi is spending more time with Alexa at Starbucks than he is on the ice when he shows up to the rink these days. Piastri's production has dropped significantly over the past week or so, being held off of the scoring sheet in consecutive game's for the first time in his SHL career. The coaching staff was seen speaking with him in private after the teams last practice. Could Alexa be the beginning of the end for what should be a promising SHL career?
