I recently had a meeting with other coaches from my Minor Hockey Organization regarding player developement. The meeting was very useful and interesting. I noticed that very quickly the meeting would take-off in tangents regarding issues that coaches had. Later that evening, as I was reviewing the meeting and digesting all of the good information, I realized that all hockey coaches really want to do is discuss hockey coaching issues with other people that get it. Being a hockey coach at any level, whether it is a paid position or a volounteer position is a stressful thing and being able to talk to other coaches helps.
Developing Hockey Players is the #1 job off all minor hockey coaches, and it came to my attention that many of us need plenty of development ourselves. I began some online research to see what I could find with regards to coaching hockey and groups for hockey coaches and it became very apparent that there is little out there dedicated just to the hockey coach. http://www.thecoachesview.com/ was born. Coaching hockey is something that I love to do and can't imagine not doing. I have always believed that if we are not learning as much as the players are every season than we are failing as coaches. http://www.thecoachesview.com/ was born to help develop myself as a hockey coach as well as give hockey coaches a place to converse openly with, and learn from each other. My Goal to start is to update the page as often as possible and than the rest depends on my peers. Checkout the forum and leave a post ( http://thecoachesview.com/Forum.html ). Hoping to hear from you soon
Please visit my site and check it out. I am aware that there is still work to be done and I am very open to feedback, so be sure to leave some before you leave. Let me know what is missing, what you would like to see as well as any navagational issues that you have.
