On this special episode, we focus solely on player development with Brett Beebe, the founder of RAD Hockey.  I asked Brett to come on the podcast to understand what makes a great player development team coach. In my opinion, there are nowhere near enough coaches that know how to develop players. And I wanted to learn from Brett how a true player development coach thinks and acts.
