A Must for the Hockey Coach's Toolkit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coaching Youth Hockey (Paperback)
This book offers a comprehensive set of introductory materials needed for the first time or experienced hockey coach. It is useful for either ice or roller hockey. I particularly appreciated the author's including the social, communication, and motivational aspects of coaching youth sports. Full of handy checklists and drills to emphasize the needed skills, this book provides a solid foundation for developing "your own" hockey teaching and coaching program. The drills and progressions are excellent. The book would be better with more technical emphasis on skating skills and techniques. But overall, I would recommend it for any coach or parent who is close to this fast-growing sport!

Hockey review,
This review is from: Coaching Youth Hockey - 2nd Edition (Coaching Youth Sports) (Paperback)
I needed to understand how to teach children under 10 the game of Hockey and start towards gaining a coaching award in this age group. This book gives me a greater understanding of what turns on a childs interest and haw to maintain this interest.

This review is from: Coaching Youth Hockey - 2nd Edition (Coaching Youth Sports) (Paperback)
Excellent condition when received. This book offers detailed insight for those coaches that want to immerse themselves in the next level of coaching. Certainly not for the beginner coach.
