Description

On this episode of the Hockey IQ podcast, we sit down with Nick Smallridge to talk advanced coaching topics in a 3 part series.

A few areas on this episode we discuss:

  • Reset rituals and mindset visualizations.
  • Optimal arousal state
  • Falling to standards rather than rising to the occasion
  • Creating pressure/stakes at practice
  • Giving up control as a coach to enhance player learning environments
  • Self-Determination Theory
  • What if the coach wants it more than the players?
