On this episode of the Hockey IQ podcast, we sit down with soccer coach and English teacher, Nick Smallridge.

A few areas on this episode we discuss:

• How to give impact team talks between periods/halfs and after the game
• Quality questions asking... going beyond just asking open-ended questions
• Guiding attention and focus to improve coaching effectiveness
• Cueing players via intentions NOT mechanicals/technique
• Benefits of overplanning practice
• How to get transfer from practice into actual games
• Small-sided game constraints and rules
• Improving players ability to learn
• Impact of shared language and curriculum
• Maintaining reality-based practice.... Task simplification, not decomposition
