Hockey Camps/Clinics
Tomorrow morning I will be starting the first of several Easter Holiday Camps. What do you want me to document or break down for you? What’s the biggest challenge you face when running a session?

@Natasha Pitzer that’s so great to hear. I am originally from South Africa and then moved to England and now living in Australia. I am looking forward to chatting with you about hockey and to share some of my ideas and thoughts 🙌🏼

Captain - skill development
Can anyone perhaps assist with "something" I can give my son to help him in his role as captain? He is 16.

That’s a great question, and it’s fantastic that he’s been given that responsibility. One thing I always tell young captains is that leadership isn’t about having all the answers or being the best player on the field. It’s about setting the tone for the team. 1. Always make sure you put in maximum effort. 2. Be positive and communicate with teammates. Keep encouraging them. Leadership is something that grows with experience, so remind him to enjoy the role and learn as he goes!
Pre-Season Training Drills
Skills is always an important component to train during pre-season. I designed this session to try and get the players to experiment with doing different types of skills: drags, 3D, turns, pulls, passing etc. Let me know what you think?

@Natasha Pitzer yes of course you can. Try copying the link - it should work. Alternatively if you visit my Instagram page I have a whole lot of coaching videos on there: https://www.instagram.com/elite.hockeycoaching?igsh=c2pnaDUzbDM0d2do&utm_source=qr
The One Thing Every Great Hockey Player Does
Over the years, one thing has stood out to me when watching top players. It’s not always the fastest player. It's not always the most skilful player. It’s the player who stays involved in the game every single moment. These players: - Talk constantly - Move off the ball - Support teammates - Recover quickly after mistakes - Stay mentally switched on These players make the game easier for everyone around them. Great hockey players don’t disappear from games. 👇 Question for the group: What do you think separates a good hockey player from a great one?
