As a hockey coach, there's nothing more valuable than time. Between work, family and juggling practice - there's no wonder we have little time to properly plan hockey practice.
Hey, having run off-ice training programs for teams at all levels and having coached at the collegiate level, I can relate!
So I went on a mission (a selfish one at first) to create a template that would help me organize all my future off-ice practices. There were 2 goals for doing this...
1. Make it brain-dead simple to run training programs for this season (and future seasons)
2. If I couldn't make practice, I could hand my "templates" over to an assistant for them to run it without missing a beat
3. Save time! By not having to re-create the wheel each day, it saves me at least 2-3 hours per week.
About 6 months ago, I let Mark, a friend of mine who is also a hockey coach, "borrow" my system. And the results were astonishing..
He said I'd be crazy not to offer this to other coaches. In fact, he said I should charge at least $500 for this program (since that is what other "gurus" charge for similar programs - and they are not nearly as complete as mine).
So, after some thought, I decided to take a leap and humbly offer my system for sale to you, my fellow coach. I took some time to add in the most up-to-date information and make it a complete “how-to” guide.
Rather than going on and on about how great my system is (and how much your athletes will benefit), here's a simple breakdown and summary of each "blueprint".
