I guess it is official...now that I have the certificate! Enjoyed the course! Added to my knowledge and thoughts on child development in sport. We can be so much better in teaching and facilitating children loving this or any sport in this country.

🧵Thread: Rethinking Sports Practice: The Value of Opposed vs. Unopposed Drills

Traditional coaching often emphasises isolated, unopposed drills to master technique before applying skills in game situations. But recent research challenges this approach.

A 2025 study reveals why "alive" practice environments may be more effective for skill development. 🧠 👇

Playing different positions when you’re younger makes you a smarter hockey player.

"One of my biggest challenges with grassroots coaches"

Here’s something I see far too often.

Sessions that are purely reactions to the weekend’s game.

A mistake happens on Saturday, and by Tuesday, the entire session is built around correcting it.

But here’s the issue...

My Observations 🇺🇸 🧵

Here are a few thoughts after having trained kids and listened to coaches from coast to coast.

▪️Passivity
Kids need to be held accountable for their energy and intensity.

▪️Parents.
So many coaches being burdened by a few overly aggressive parents.

▪️Drills
Even today we promote limiting rather than holistic development.

▪️Leadership
Too many DOC’s get drained by administration details rather than being able to focus on coaching and curriculum.

▪️Expectations
Kids thrive under high demands and elevated expectations. Our kids will devour challenges if they engage the brain and body. Amazing response from 8 year-olds to semi-pro players.

▪️Excuses
The most common excuse is to say, “My kids can’t because their level is too low.” Nonsense. I worked with rec and high level players this trip and all are capable of much more than we think.

▪️ Coaches
We have so many kind, caring and passionate coaches serving children admirably. They deserve our respect and gratitude.

▪️Change
We can make a massive difference. With positive energy and a purposeful & proven curriculum, we can achieve even more.

🙏 Thanks to all coaches at ALL levels for your commitment. It matters and you are amazing mentors. Gracias.
