Michigan Hockey’s Brandon Naurato on the Big Ten Playoffs, the Road to the Frozen Four, and the Mindset Behind the Run
Michigan head coach Brandon Naurato joins Coffee with the Coach to talk about the Wolverines heading into the Big Ten tournament and NCAA postseason run.
Naurato explains how the team is approaching the final stretch of the season, why they scheduled an exhibition game during a late-season bye week, and how the focus inside the locker room is simply “going 1–0 today.”
He also talks about the importance of trust during key moments like penalty kills, how the team handles the pressure of being one of the top programs in college hockey, and why this time of year is the most exciting for players and coaches.
Plus, Naurato shares his personal approach to staying mentally sharp during the season — including meditation, visualization, and daily preparation — and reacts to watching former Michigan players succeed on the international stage and in the NHL.
With the postseason approaching and the Frozen Four in Las Vegas on the horizon, the Wolverines are focused on playing their best hockey when it matters most.
