Whether it is introducing someone to the game for the first time, working with a club side or engaging with the performance environment across Great Britain, the coach is a critical factor in determining the quality of a player’s experience.
What is a great hockey coach?
Great hockey coaches can be defined by four key characteristics
Self – Coaches who know themselves and why they coach, striving to continually develop and improve
Player - Coaches who build effective and sustainable relationships, with and around the player, to support their wants and needs.
Environment - Coaches who are architects of environments that optimise learning, where players feel valued and actively participate in their own development.
Game - Coaches who develop their knowledge and understanding of hockey appropriate to the participant need.
