I hate that so much. As a manager, when I bring in a new employee and they make small mistakes, we discuss them and how to avoid them in the future. You mentor them, show them the proper way, help them be better at their jobs as that makes you better at your job and the organization as a whole better off. You don't put them in the ****ing corner for making little mistakes. I've always defended AV's handling of the younger players (against accusations that he "ruins" them or whatever) but when the little things are made into big things with young players it's just ****ing dumb. In any other business it would cause people to leave and find a place with better management.
Same here. I hired two 20-year olds in November and they are straight out of college. A girl from Serbia and a guy from Turkey. Aside from them being quite young, they also have the language barrier and cultural differences to overcome. However, I have a very diverse team. 19 techs, from 14 different countries, and relatively young with just 2 of them being over 30.
If I, as a manager, start yelling at them or show my displeasure with their performance or the mistakes they make, they're not going to improve and fix those mistakes.
In hockey though, the pressure is so immensely high, that the emotions flow over. I don't think AV is mistreating the young players. I see a lot of people complain about AV being a bad coach for young players and that the prospects develop despite AV being the coach. But can we really just use that argument when we saw Kreider, Zuccarello, Miller, Hayes, Fast, Brassard, Skjei and Lindberg develop immensely after AV was hired?
