Thoughts on Practice:
Thoughts on Practice:
▪ Have objectives for each practice/drill ▪ Have a plan for each practice ▪ Every drill/activity should have a purpose ▪ Optimize activity time BUT be aware of volumes and intensities ▪ Work conditioning into drills/activities – rather than the ▪ Individual technical/tactical focus ▪ New skills/tactics early in practice - transition to late in practice through season ▪ 20/80 Rule – Use 20% of your drills 80% of the time
More thoughts on practice
▪ Demand details:
– Sticks on ice – Communication - specific – Awareness – head on swivel – shoulder checks – Top speed – Jump outs – Finish the play – Be tough to play against in practice – push your teammates – Zero tolerance for off-sides any time – Follow through to and stop on net – Shoot to score
Motivation in Practice
▪ Bring a positive attitude – all the time ▪ Optimize positive feedback over negative – AND BE SPECIFIC ▪ Admit when you screw up ▪ Build competition into practices
– Point systems for defense vs forwards; unit vs unit; btw goalies; goalies vs shooters
▪ Share ownership of practices with players
– Discuss with leadership group – Options to work on a specific skill/tactic – “Drill of choice” reward for meeting practice objectives
Individual Development
▪ Discuss player goals/objectives/plan early in the year ▪ Monitor player progress through the season
– Coach logging – Player self-monitoring/reflection – Quick-hit meetings vs formal meetings
▪ Perform skill assessments 2-3 times per year ▪ Provide homework and follow up ▪ CARE ABOUT THEM AND THEIR LIVES OUTSIDE OF HOCKEY
