Wow brings back some great memories. Great to visit here. First time back in 12 years. 🏒

If you want to get better, then train skills, but make sure they have transfer affect. You can always find drills to do, but don't forget that drills do not equal skills.
--------
This needs a bit of elaboration; it is not an either or proposition, there is a place for drills if they are used properly. To often practices and training sessions are essentially a drill-a-rama, an endless collection of drills with no progression and no connection to the actual skill that can transfer to your players game.
--------
Meaningful drills that transfer are part of a good system of training. Care must be taken that the drill does not become an end unto itself. The technical and tactical drills must have a clear context and connection to the desired skill, and they must be able to connect. The player must be able to have a clear view in seeing how the skill can be used in their game.
--------
A couple tips when creating a skill roadmap for your players:
- The skill you're working on should have a clear purpose and goal.
- The skill should be precise and be able to be progressed and connected.
- Skill drills should be individually prescribed to address an area of technical or individual tactical improvement and understanding.
- In selecting a drill the focus should be on the absolute need to do, not on the nice to do.

Although here at DTCoaching our main focus is improving player performance, we place a huge emphasis on our Athletes’ mental well-being 🧠

We want all Hockey Players, Coaches and Parents to know it’s okay to ask for help if you’re facing challenges with your mental well-being…

The hockey community is here to help and support you 🙌

Understanding spatial awareness, then being able to manipulate that space with your body and puck is one key.

Second key is for your teammates to find available space and lanes to help you (puck carrier) exploit the defensive team/player.

In order to function, congintion must be ignited, perceiving and conceiving what is unfolding, and then executing the best decision available.

Let’s get Inline to the next Olympics. Would be incredible for the sport and for the world to see what amazing talent playing Inline Hockey. For New Zealand this would be huge, the chances of New Zealand Ice teams making the Winter Olympics are pretty much 0%.
