Working with ParentsWorking with Parents• Coaches & parents often have different goals

– do your parents value development or winning?

• Parents are more interested in their child than team– communicate goals for team with them– foster open discussion with them to alleviate future problems

• Avoid conversing under stressful conditions– after game or practice– choose a time when there will be no rush– listen first, offer opinions later

• Make them your allies

The Coach

23 of 54USA Hockey Associate Coaching Program

Impact of Coaches

- I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element on the ice.

- It is my personal approach that creates the climate.

- It is my mood that makes the daily weather.

- As a coach, I possess tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous.

24 of 54USA Hockey Associate Coaching Program

Impact of Coaches

- I can be the tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.

- I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.

- In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.

correct it

• Characteristics of a good drill:– has a meaningful name– short explanation required– keeps players’ “on-task time” high (3 reps or more!)– modifiable to accommodate varied skill levels– maximum players involved– maximum usage of pucks– performed at game tempo and intensity

38 of 54USA Hockey Associate Coaching Program

Practice: planning and implementingPractice: planning and implementing

• “Practice harder than you play”: tempo– move quickly from drill to drill if possible– use “chasers” to increase tempo and speed– limit flow drills– give reason to compete (rewards)– set time constraints to make them finish faster– limit space for drill to increase stress

39 of 54USA Hockey Associate Coaching Program

Practice: planning and implementingPractice: planning and implementing

• Plan your week– establish a theme for each practice– skills on Monday-Tuesday?– team play/conditioning Wednesday-Thursday?– always focus on fundamental skills

Persistence

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION alone are omnipotent ……
