SEERA Coach Mentorship Program

SEERA Coach Mentorship Program

Coach mentoring services can be tailored to address the unique needs of an individual coach, group of coaches or an entire association. We use a variety of methods to optimize the results of the mentoring process and to help ensure that we are providing each coach the direction, support and resources that (s)he requires. Coaches, just like players, have many questions and a desire to learn and grow within their chosen position.

  • How to deal with parent/ player concerns.
  • How do I effectively plan my practices?
  • How can I efficiently make use of ice time and space?
  • How should I make use of my assistants?
  • How do I effectively teach skating, passing or shooting?

An other area we can help with is -how to use progression to teach hockey skills and tactics, such as passing, shooting and puck handling.

I can help address these and many of the other questions which coaches have with respect to planning and running their hockey seasons and individual practices.

If you’re a coach looking to increase his/her knowledge please contact me. We can arrange for me to come out to one of your practices, where you can shadow myself and learn how to teach the skills and tactics.
