This week I tried something new, a young up and coming hockey coach who I have known since he was about 5 reached out for some advice, I gave him my thoughts but I also sought some expert advice from one of the best hockey coaches on the planet, Shane McLeod. The result was a podcast with myself, Ethan Larsen (The grasshopper) and Shane McLeod (The master). I am sure we are going to hear much more about this young coach in years to come.TakeawaysCoaches should strive to create alignment and balance within their teams, understanding the individual goals and motivations of each player while also focusing on the collective objectives.Visual stimulus, such as photos and imagery, can be used to motivate and inspire athletes, helping them visualize success and overcome mental barriers.The journey of an athlete is often filled with challenges and hard work, and coaches should emphasize the importance of the process and the daily grind in achieving success.Coaches should have a solid game plan and playing principles, while also being open to evolving and adapting their tactics based on the strengths and weaknesses of opponents.Self-reflection and continuous learning are crucial for coaches to improve their skills and effectiveness, and seeking mentorship and support can greatly enhance their development.Support the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/
