I've been trying to listen to all of Ted Suihkonen's (@suihkonen77) podcast interviews and I've found this one is the most helpful for youth coaches. Really good questions from @DerekERead & @RickSchreiber68. Thanks to all three of you.

A great conversation with Kyle on todays episode!

Kyle made a big impact on my thinking at the USCCE seminar in June and it was great to get him on the show to talk about being an antiracist! Looking forward to continuous growth!

Check out @ALongTalk2020 for great resources!

Then the experience of what it takes to run such an event and the awesome people behind the scenes doing thankless jobs. I have a new appreciation for the importance of the 1300 volunteers that made this happen.

Thank you to everyone that made this opportunity for me a reality!

[Derek Read @DerekERead]

The last few weeks I had the honor of serving as the team host for team GB at the IIHF World Champs in Tampere, FI. The exp has been fantastic. Those with GB were welcoming and easy to work with and the exp working in the highest level of international hockey is one I wont forget

[Derek Read @DerekERead]

Learning from the teams coaching staff and the focus points throughout the time and how they approached the players with a balance of realism and demand was something I will take away!

[Derek Read @DerekERead]

Great time on @TeamGBicehockey’s Facebook live showing off my 10 minutes of juggling practice!

Thanks you guys!

Really awesome ideas that can lead to a lot of great ideas for your own coaching! Been doing something the last few season where players take turns creating a small area game!

Creativity is endless!

[Wendy Glover @DevelopAthletes]

Coaches of every level U16-18.
Each pracy give 5-7 min to a diff player to lead a drill/activity.
Set up a schedule. 📅

✔️ Create future coaches & future players simultaneously. 💡

Coaching experience as a youth may be rewarding & give them confidence to coach as an adult.
