Coaches Seminar at St Tammany Arena, Madisonville, LA
The steamy south was certainly steaming on November 7th, 2009,
as a large group of both experienced and beginner coaches sat
together at St Tammany Arena in Madisonville, Louisiana for
an RHA Coaches Seminar. The discussion topics focused on:
- Communication
- Understanding/knowdledge of What to Teach
- Execution/How to Teach
Peter Dale, representing the RHA set the stage for some deep discussion.
"We always harp on our players to work hard and practice at home
to get better, but what are we doing as coaches to get better? How do
we know that what we are teaching is even right?"
The group of coaches were treated to a hand’s on walk-through
of assessing and recognizing fundamental strengths and weaknesses
of skating, stickhandling, shooting and passing. A willing and eager
group of kids were all to happy to help demonstrate and be critiqued.
All in all it was a great experience for all those attending.
We are making plans to return this spring.
