Lauris Dārziņš: If You Have to Fight Hard, You Probably Skipped Your Homework
Former Latvia national ice hockey captain Lauris Dārziņš talks about coaching, his national team experiences and fear on the Sportacentrs podcast “Klausītava | Virziens”.
Lauris Dārziņš, a former captain of Latvia's national ice hockey team, was a guest on “Klausītava | Virziens”, an audio programme from the sports portal Sportacentrs. He spoke about hockey from the perspective of both a player and a coach.
According to the programme description, the conversation covers several topics: what makes a good coach in his view, the best moments he had with the national team, how the move from player to coach went, and how he sees fear.
The episode title also highlights one of his thoughts: if an athlete has to struggle hard, he has most likely not done his homework, meaning he has not prepared well enough.
The source gives no further details of the conversation, so more can be learned by listening to the programme itself on the Sportacentrs website.
