Landon Ferraro

You can follow someone, even if you don't know if he's right, but you feel that he is like, that's something that you can get behind.

And, and again, when it's a guy like Manny that is like, he's in the battle with his guys, watching him interact with his Abbotsford players and,

like it's not a normal coach relationship in the sense of like this hard divide between them.

Like he's close with his guys.

He's still hard on them and all that, but he knows the history.

He knows the relationships.

He understands if a guy has something going on and needs a bit more support or vice versa, has had a good stretch of games.

And, you know, because young kids get to feel a little cocky when they put some goals in the back of the net, can see that and make adjustments that way too.

Like,

Again, I go back to when you have a coach that you know if you do what he says and you have the effort in practicing games, it doesn't matter about the rest because you'll get yours because he sees it and rewards it.

That's all you want.

You just want an even playing field and a real strict kind of do's and don'ts.

And then you play your ass off in between those lines.

Right.

Like that is the best setup that you can have as a player.

a thousand percent like that could manipulate the team in a positive way, right?

Like you have, you think you get to know someone and how they're going to react to different things.

And, and maybe you go on a couple of game winning streak, but it's not very pretty and the coach realizes it and he gets on top of it and same the other way.

You know, again, it's, I think more than anything, especially with the rebuild,

it's about, and they talked about it a ton today, but like setting those clear guidelines and, and really pushing towards that.
