FOREWARD
This Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) Level I Coaching Certification Manual is
designed as a reference for participants attending the MHF Level I Hockey Coaching
Course. The Level I is a development hockey coaching course.
In the various instructional and coaching publications that are available, each will have
its own way of teaching atheletes how to play hockey. As they say in any sports, The
rule is..there are no rules. Part of the secret to becoming a successful coach rests
with your ability to be open minded, knowing your players and implementing a plan that
will work best for a team.
Coaches who understand the value of continuing education and take the time
constantly improve the knowledge of the sport will strengthen their ability to work with
variety of players. Helping players reach their goals and develop their own personal in
the sport should be the ultimate goals of a coach. Theres no substitute for getting out
there and working with atheletes. Applying the different concepts and discovering
how they work in the real world will increase the coachs practical knowledge and
experience about the game.
Coaching is a lifelong journey in which good coaches will continue to learn and grow
through shared experiences with players. Great coaches are made, not born.
This Manual is one in the MHF Coaching Program series and has been produced as a
joint initiative with National Sports Council of Malaysia and National Sports Institute .
The Malaysian Government acknowledges the role sport plays in enhancing the quality
of life.

LEVEL 1 HOCKEY COACHING CURRICULUM
Entry to the Malaysian Hockey Federation Coaching Accreditation Scheme is through Level 1
Coaching Courses which are staged nationally and are designed to train large number of
coaches who can work with hockey players in specific phases of the Athlete Development
Pathway for beginners. It is most important for coaches who are teaching the basics of
hockey to children and beginners to be competent in the science and art of coaching.
Learning the skills of the game correctly, quickly and effectively is as much a factor of
individual motivation and effort as of the ability of the coach. The art of developing effective
training and competitive programs for children lies in the kind of practice and competition the
player is being prepared for any given stage of his or her physical and mental development.
The new Level 1 will produce qualified Youth Coaches who will not only able to train and
prepare young children for Bambino Hockey or Modified Hockey competitions but also
provide the bridge to real Hockey Training. At grass roots it is the affiliation to individuals that
determines retention and Level 1 Coaches will be competent and able to take the kids
through to the Kid's programmes of training ( below 12 years old and competition relevant to
under 12 , under 14 and under 15 years of age). The Level 1 Hockey Coaching course
provides professional training to those who wish to become trained and accredited coaches
qualified to coach beginners. It is the first requirement towards a career in coaching at the
highest levels
1.0 AIM
The aim of the course is to equip coaches with coaching knowledge and skills at
beginners level and the development of hockey players. At the completion of this course, it
is hoped that these coaches will work in schools or clubs with young and developing hockey
players at the grassroots of hockey. In addition to the technical aspects of training their
hockey players, a Level 1 coach must also be prepared to fill a position of leadership, as one
who works with young people and as one whose enthusiasm and knowledge will help to
build the culture of hockey players. It is vital that they continue to make use of their
experience and technical expertise by remaining active in the sport. It is also vital that a
strong bond of continuing cooperation be built up between these active coaches and MHF.
For this reason, Level 1 coaches are encouraged by MHF, to join and be active in their
National and State Hockey Associations.

1.0 BRIEF HISTORY OF HOCKEY
Brief History Of Hockey
1.1 Early History - Origin
Hockey like games have been played by a number of civilizations throughout the
ancient world as shown in historical records. The Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Aztecs,
Australian Natives and Europeans were found to have played a game using sticks (bent
/ hooked) to hit a ball. The origin of the word hockey is obscure. It may have been
derived from the Anglo-Saxon word Hook, Hok, or the French word Hocquet.
Modern hockey was first played by English Public Schools in the 19
th
. century. The
game was spread throughout the British Empire in the late 19
th
. century by the British
Army. The International Rules Board was formed in 1895 and hockey first appeared at
the 1908 London Olympic Games as a mens competition and it became a permanent
fixture at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games. The International Hockey Federation
was founded in 1924 in Paris. (FIH : Federation Internationale de Hockey).
1.2 Hockey in Malaysia
Introduced by the close of 1898. Made great progress in the 1920s and was introduced
to the schools in the early 1920s. First league competition was organized by Penang in
1925.The first State Association was formed by Perak in 1927. The Malaysian Hockey
Council was formed in 1948 to oversee all hockey activities in the country. It was
dissolved in 1954 and was replaced by the Malaysian Hockey Federation. Malaysian
hockey made its first Olympic appearance in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.

COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
3.1 Playing Equipment
3.1.1 Hockey Stick
Current technology uses a combination of composite materials, namely carbon, kevlar,
aramide and glass fiber. Different combination leads to different feel and stiffness. As
there is no wood base, therefore there are no design limits manufacturers can make
any bends, length and weight distribution. Currently there are specific sticks that are
designed for drag flicks, slapping, dribbling or even just hitting. Composite sticks lasts a
long time, but if they are damaged the leave very dangerous sharp edges. Length and
weight of the stick is very important at grassroot level, as it will effect the proper
acquisition of a new skill. Also, stiff composites are not recommended for young children
as they produce dangerous levels of vibration
3.1.2 Balls
There are 2 types of balls for training and for competition. Training balls are even
more important than competition balls as we train more than we compete. Plastic balls
are cheap, but do not have much absorption properties and easily crack/leave splinters,
therefore are dangerous for players especially goalkeepers. Coloured balls are good for
attracting the attention of children, and also can be good for games played in dimly lit
places.
Vivnan 2008

COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
3.1.3 Shoes
Jogging shoes and turf shoes are designed for completely different tasks. One should
not be jogging outside the turf in turf shoes, and vice versa. Proper jogging shoes is
essential in staying injury free, especially for players that do physical conditioning. They
are designed for only forward rolling motion and are able to absorb repeated high
impacts, but they will not grip properly when changing direction on turf and will not last
long in repeated wet conditions. Meanwhile, a turf shoe is designed with small studs for
multidirectional movement and side stitched for use in wet conditions, but they have low
impact absorption and do not have a forward roll off area.
3.1.4 Shin guards
Should ideally protect the ankle right up to the shin level bellow the knee. It has a
sponge component on the inside and a hard shell on the outside as it must be able to
withstand direct stick/ball impacts without leaving permanent damage to the shin. Also,
ideally it should hot hinder a players movement
3.1.5 Other Protection
Mouth guards has to start from young, it is difficult to get used to at an older age. The
best type are those that are custom moulded by a dentist.
Ball guards essential for defending PCs and for goalies. Although recommended, it is
difficult to use in open play.
Face guards recently used in PC defence, the best ones are made of clear see
through material, therefore giving a clear sight of view.
Gloves there are 2 types, one for abrasion protection mostly used by

3.2 Playing Field
3.2.1 Turf
There are many types of turf being used, with different levels of water needs, grip,
bounce and roll properties. Turf should be properly watered before use; partly wet turf is
dangerous as it does not provide a consistent surface. Keep a look out for folds on the
turf as well as seam tears, because players might trip and the ball will bounce
unexpectedly.
3.2.2 Grass
A number of schools still train on grass, therefore it is still an important component to
hockey. Be aware that field that are shared with soccer and rugby could be hazardous
for hockey players because of the uneven surface. It would be a good idea to modify the
rules, for example no hitting when playing on these type of surface
Most modern field accessories such the goal post are made of aluminium. Although
much more expensive, it is lighter and more importantly does not rust.
3.3 Accessories
Goalkeeping
3.3.1 Helmet
Do not cut corners, get the best possible helmet. There are kids and adult sizes and
most good helmets are slightly adjustable. A helmet must fit snugly. A goalies helmet
and a motorcycle helmet are made for two completely different purpose, they are not
interchangeable. Discard a helmet once it is damaged.

COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
3.3.2 Pads
There are a number of quality pads available on the market today at affordable prices.
Proper sizing is critical, wrong sized padding will not only hinder performance but are
dangerous. Pads also need to be cared for properly for it to last long, it needs to be
aired periodically and stored away from direct sunlight.
3.3.3 Body Armour
Leg pads, kickers, and gloves alone are not enough for complete protection. Modern
body suits have ample chest/abdomen and shoulder cover as well as extension for the
arms. While the tight pants contain hard pads and integrated ball guard. All body armour
is made to size and allow flexibility of movement. One size does not fit all.

To optimize performance, its effective to have all goalkeepers play a different position
frequently, i.e. one outside of the goal area, during the training sessions. This will help
them develop in the psychological and physical areas they need to perform well.
Furthermore, thanks to the logical progression of the competitions in which they play an
ever more active role, they become mentally quicker and know how to anticipate the
opponents play much better than those who have only been exposed to traditional
training program based mainly on acquiring technical skills.

coping with the physical and psychological demands of high intensity training or
organized competitions. Early Burnout. Training programs for these young athletes
must focus on overall athletic development and not sport specific performance.
Attention span is short at this age and children are action oriented, thus they cannot
sit and listen for long periods of time. It is especially important for training at this
stage to be varied and creative. Participation and fun should be emphasized over
winning.

4.9 TACTICS
Definition of Tactics
It is a system, science or art of movement in the presence of an opponent / opponents
so as to gain an advantage over your opponents
Factors To Consider
For a tactic to be successful, the following factors should be considered:
the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents
the strength and weaknesses of your own players
your players capabilities and abilities in fulfilling the role required to use the tactic
your players understand the specific roles they play and the reasons for using such
tactics
keeping it simple
Several tactics can be used during a game and these can be changed during the game
while new ones are introduced. The important point is players must know what they are
supposed to be doing.To ensure success in the use of tactics, a lot of time and practice
is needed

COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
Training and Competition Nutrition
Goals of Training Nutrition
The benefits of diet are more obvious in the area of competition
performance, where nutrition strategies help athletes perform their
best by reducing or delaying the onset of factors that would otherwise
cause fatigue. The major role of the daily diet is to supply athletes with
fuel and nutrients needed to optimize the adaptation achieved during
training and to recover quickly between workouts.
Goal 1
Meet the energy and fuel requirement needed to support a training
program.
The energy requirements of individual athletes are influence by their
body size, growth, pursuit of weight loss or gain and most important
the energy for training (frequency, duration and intensity). The
important of meeting energy intake:
i) Energy intake determines the potential for achieving the
athletes requirement for energy containing macronutrients and
micronutrient for optimal function and health.
ii) Energy intake assists the manipulation of muscle mass and
body fat level to achieve the ideal physique.
iii) Energy intake effects the function of hormonal and immune
system.
iv) Energy intake challenges the practical limits to food intake
set by issues such as food availability and gastrointestinal
comfort.
Goal 2
Achieve and maintain an ideal physique for their event; manipulate
training and nutrition to achieve a level of body mass, body fat and
muscle mass that is consistent with good health and good
performance.
Vivnan 2008
117
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
Physical characteristic, including height, limb lengths, body mass,
muscle mass and body fat can play a role in sports performance.
Goal 3
Enhance adaptation and recovery between training sessions by
providing all the nutrients associated with these process.
The requirements for many nutrients are increased as a result of
prolonged exercise. Protein requirement may increase due to support
muscle gain and repaired of damage body tissues but also for protein
oxidation makes to the fuel requirements of prolonged exercise
Protein Requirement for Athletes
Group g/kg body weight/day
Sedentary men and women, adult 0.8-1.0
Recreational exercise, adult 1.0-1.5
Elite male endurance athletes 1.6
Moderate-intensity endurance athletes 1.2
Adolescent athletes 1.8-2.0
Body builder athlete, adult 1.4-1.8
Resistance athletes (early training) 1.5 - 1.7
Resistance athletes (steady state) 1.0-1.2
Calories restriction athlete 1.4-2.0
Limit of maximum intake, adult 2.0
Goal 4
Refuel and rehydrate well during each training session to perform
optimally at each session.
The maintenance of fuel status and fluid balance plays an
important role in the performance of exercise and forms the basis of
most of the special nutrition strategies undertaken for competition.

Goal 5
Practice any intended competition nutrition strategies so that beneficial
practices can be identified and fine-tuned.
Every athlete is varies in relation to nutritional support and respond to
nutritional intake. Therefore, the training situation offers each athlete
a chance to find the intake of fluid and food that will be practical and
valuable for future competitive events.
Pre, During and Post Exercise CHO Requirement
Time Recommendation
4 hrs before exercise 1.0-4.5 g/kg body weight
High CHO, palatable, well tolerate
1 hr before exercise 1g/kg body weight
During exercise 30-60 g/hour
After exercise 1.5 g/kg immediately after exercise
1.5 g/kg feeding after 2 hrs
Goal 6
Maintain optimal health and function, especially by meeting the
increased needs for some nutrients resulting from heavy training.
Vivnan 2008
119
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
Recovery is a major challenge for the elite athlete, who undertakes
two or even three workouts each day during certain phases of the
training cycle, with 4-24 hr between each session. Process of recovery
include:
i) Restoration of muscle and liver glycogen stores.
ii) Replacement of fluid and electrolytes lost in sweat.
iii) Synthesis of new protein following the catabolic state and
damage induced by the exercise.
iv) Responses of the immune system.
a) Factors that enhance the rate of restoration:
- Depletion of glycogen stores-the lower the stores, the faster
the rate of recovery.
- Immediate intake of CHO after exercise-starts effective
recovery immediately.
- Adequate amounts of CHO and total energy intake:
About 1g/kg body mass within 1
st
hr.
7-12g/kg over 24 hr.
- Focus on CHO-rich foods with high GI.
- Frequent intake of CHO (every 15-60 min) during 1
st
hr of
recovery.
- If CHO intake is below threshold for glycogen storage, add
protein to meals and snack.
b) Factors that have minimal effect on rate of restoration:
- Gentle exercise during recovery. Over long-term recovery,
frequency of meals and snacks (provided total amount of CHO is
adequate).
Vivnan 2008
120
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
- When total CHO intake meets threshold for glycogen storage,
intake of other macronutrients (e.g, protein or fat).
c) Factors that reduce the rate of restoration:
- Damage to the muscle (contact injury or delayed-onset muscle
soreness caused by eccentric exercise).
- Delay in intake of CHO after exercise (postpones the start of
effective recovery).
- Inadequate intake of CHO.
- Inadequate total energy intake.
- Reliance on CHO-rich foods with a low glycemic index.
- Prolonged, strenuous exercise during the recovery period.

FIELD HOCKEY
Also for Lacrosse and Team Handball
Easily one of the most demanding sports in the world, field hockey is a
game in which conditioning plays as big a role as skill. When you play
field hockey, you are almost constantly on the run, making many
sudden starts, stops, turns, jumps, pivots, and sprints. Therefore, it is
essential that you have a solid nutritional foundation, an energy and
recovery base to support your training and competition efforts.
Field hockey requires a variety of skills. A field hockey player must be
a combination sprinter, leaper, and even dancer to execute the
fundamental movements of the game. Field-hockey conditioning,
therefore, must take each of these areas into account.
Only the most rigorous nutrition and training program can prepare an
athlete for the rigors of a field hockey season. Increased strength can
make you a better field-hockey player. Through the careful application
of scientific training techniques, you can multiply your on-field
effectiveness in all areas of the game. You can improve your jumping
ability, sprinting ability, endurance, agility, and body control, playing
better event when you are fatigued. Furthermore, the incredible
diversity of skills and energy demands of field hockey require the
support of a carefully constructed nutrition program.

POWER FIELD-HOCKEY PLAYERS
The field-hockey players who usually play in spurts are power athletes.
These players include the fullbacks and goalie.
Dietary Guidelines
Some other important considerations for power field-hockey players
are:
Carbohydrates are the major source of energy for short-term
activities. Complex carbohydrates are the best source because
they most effectively refill the glycogen stores in the muscles
and liver. In addition, they elevate the blood sugar to a level
sufficient for long sessions of intensive training.
As a power athlete, you must make sure that you consume
adequate amounts of both carbohydrates and protein. If our
energy stores become drastically depleted or you experience
lactic-acid build-up, you may suffer temporary muscle fatigue. If
you do not refill your glycogen stores before your next workout
or game, your body may begin breaking down muscle tissue for
the protein it needs for energy.
Directly before workouts and games, consume carbohydrate
drinks with high glycemic indexes to keep your blood sugar
Vivnan 2008
132
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
sustained at an appropriate level. This will allow you to train or
play intensively without having your explosiveness hindered by
fatigue.
As a power athlete, you need to stimulate the storage of
glycogen in your muscles while promoting repair and growth of
your muscle tissue and inhibiting build-up of body fat. To do
this:
Train anaerobically on a regular basis. Intensive training
stimulates increased storage of glycogen in the muscles and
liver, which provides additional energy for greater exercise
capacity.
Consume five to six meals a day. Eating several smaller meals
rather than three larger ones will keep your blood-sugar level
stable throughout the day and will ensure that a supply of
protein is always available for your muscles.
Keep your fat intake to a minimum. Large amounts of fat in
your diet will add to your body fat and will cause you to lose
minerals through frequent urination.
Consume low-glycemic-index foods about two to three hours
before workouts and games. These foods help sustain the
blood-sugar level.
Drink plenty of water. Not only will this practice reduce your
chances of becoming dehydrated, but every ounce of glycogen
that is stored within the muscles needs 3 ounces of water stored
along with it. Therefore, remaining properly hydrated will also
help prevent weakened muscle contractions.

MIDDLE-DISTANCE FIELD-HOCKEY PLAYERS
Some other important consideration for middle-distance field-hockey
players are:
Carbohydrates are the major source of energy for short-term
activities. Complex carbohydrates are the best source because
they most effectively refill the glycogen stores in the muscles
and liver. In addition, they elevate the blood sugar to a level
sufficient for long sessions of intensive training.
As a middle-distance athlete, you must make sure that you
consume adequate amounts of both carbohydrates and protein.
If your energy stores become drastically depleted or you

muscle fatigue. If you do not refill your glycogen stores before
your next workout or game, your body may begin breaking down
muscle tissue for the protein it needs for energy.
Directly before workouts and games, consume carbohydrate
drinks with low glycemic indexes to keep your blood sugar
sustained at an appropriate level. This will allow you to train or
play intensively for longer periods of time.
As a middle-distance athlete, you need to stimulate the storage
of glycogen in your muscles while promoting repair and growth
of your muscle tissue and inhibiting build-up of body fat. To do
this:
Train against your anaerobic threshold (to exhaustion) on a
regular basis. Intensive, exhaustive training stimulates
increased storage of glycogen in the muscles and liver, which
provides additional energy for greater exercise capacity.

help prevent weakened muscle contractions and early onset of
fatigue.
Do not eat a new food just before a game. Different people
often react differently to the same food. Before a game, eat just
those foods that you know your body will handle well.
ICE HOCKEY
Hockey is a game that places tough physical demands on its
players. For one thing, the playing surface is slippery. For another, the
skating speeds reached are often around thirty to forty miles per hour.
Hockey players must cut, turn maneuver and race for the puck, all
while fending off opponents body checks. To be successful, a hockey
player must have a superior level of strength endurance, as well as
agility and exceptional balance.
Every bit of your training and diet must reflect these elements.
These elements are what make hockey explosive in nature. In fact,
hockey is very explosive, so improved recovery and tissue repair plus
increased speed and strength are your year-round training and dietary
Vivnan 2008
135
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
goals. Nutritionally, this means emphasizing short-term energy needs
and maximizing the muscles recovery and tissue-repair processes.
In hockey, the energy output is primarily anaerobic (without
oxygen). This does not mean that training for or playing the game is
easy, however. You must body check, speed to the puck, push, defend
against your opponents and perform other lightning-quick reflexive
movements over and over again, repeatedly testing your tolerance to
pain and fatigue, caused by lactic-acid buildup in your muscles.
Hockey training is extremely intensive and gruelling. At the highest
levels, hockey training forces you to operate at your anaerobic
threshold (the point at which you must receive oxygen).
Muscles grow when they are stressed. In hockey, the aim is to
make the muscles grow as strong and as quick as possible. This calls
for specialized training. Furthermore, the incredible energy output of
hockey, especially coupled with the explosive aspects of the game,
requires the support of a carefully constructed nutrition program.
ENERGY SOURCES OF HOCKEY PLAYERS
The muscles rely on three major systems to supply the energy
they need-the immediate, glycolytic and oxidative energy systems. For
short-term energy for explosive-strength output, the muscles depend
on the immediate energy systems. The immediate energy systems are
nonoxidative-that is, they o not use oxygen. Instead, these systems
generate energy through the use of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and
creatune phosphate (CP). CP is produced in the body and stored in the
muscle fibers. Its broken down by enzymes to regenerate ATP, which
is also stored in the muscle fibers. When the ATP is in turn broken
down, the result is a spark of energy that triggers a muscle
contraction.
Vivnan 2008
136
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
For medium-term energy for repeated near-maximum exertion,
the muscles turn to the glocolytic energy system. In these systems,
which are also nonoxidative, glycogen is used to produce energy.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose. It is storage in the liver and
muscles and is readily converted back to glucose when it is needed for
energy.
For long-term energy for endurance activities, the muscles use
the oxidative energy system. In these system, oxygen is used to
oxidize long-chain fatty acids, protein and glucose, which generates
energy. For athlets, getting enough oxygen can mean a winning
performance rather than a second-place showing.
Every sport involves a variety of skills and each skill utilizes a
unique combination of these three energy sources. The following table
shows how much your body relies on each of the energy sources
during an average hockey game. It also gives percentages for two
kinds of average workouts.

COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
When considering the type of nutritional support to give your
training program, keep the following factors in mind:
All athletes need to consume high-quality protein several times
a day for effective recovery and adequate repair of damage
muscle tissue.
Athletes whose muscles rely substantially on the immediate or
glycolytic energy systems should keep their fat intake to a
minimum because fat is not an efficient energy source for their
intensive training, which is almost exclusively anaerobic in
nature. Since the fat calories consumed by these athletes are not
generally used for energy, they are stored as body fat.
All athletes should consume a carefully measures amount of
high-quality carbohydrates several times a day to ensure an
adequate supply of energy.
The carbohydrates in all preworkout meals should consist of
foods with low glycemic indexes to ensure that training intensity
does not wane and that muscles tissue is not cannibalized for
energy.
The aim of your nutrition program is to make your body healthy
enough to accomplish recovery and tissue repair speedily and
efficiently without adding body fat. These aims alone make diet as
critical as training for hockey players. You must eat just the right
amount for food. Eat the wrong foods or the wrong amounts just a few
times too often and you will sabotage your fitness efforts. Even more
important, do not be in a hurry. It takes years to become a great
hockey player. Rush the nutrition and training processes and you will

become fat, your recovery rate will decline and your injury rate will
rise.
NUTRITION FOR HOCKEY PLAYERS
Hockey players are middle-distance athletes. No matter what
position they play, they need stamina, which is supported by energy
from the glycolytic energy system. Therefore, as a hockey player, you
need to plan your nutritional intake, from both food and supplements
sources, to support the glycolytic systems. In addition, since your
energy expenditure changes in the preseason and off-season, you
need to adjust your caloric intake and macronutrient ratio to match.
Following are dietary guidelines for hockey players to help you in
planning your nutrition program.
Dietary Guidelines
The following pie charts illustrate how you should divide up your
caloric intake to match the energy demands of hockey during the
preseason, season and off-season. They show the target percentages
of fat, protein and carbohydrates that your five to six meals should
supply each day.
Vivnan 2008
139
COACHING MANUAL LEVEL I
Note that fat has about 9 calories per gram, while protein and
carbohydrates have only 4 calories per gram. Therefore, during the
season, if you needed to consume a total of 2,500 calories per day,
you would aim for 500 calories (20 percent of your total daily calories)
from fat, 625 calories (25 percent of your total daily calories) from
protein and the remaining 1.375 calories (55 percent of your daily
calories) from carbohydrates.
Some other important considerations for hockey players are:
Carbohydrates are the major source of energy for short-term
activities. Complex carbohydrates are the best source because
they most effectively refill the glycogen stores in the muscles
and liver. In addition, they elevate the blood sugar to a level
sufficient for long sessions of intensive training.

consume adequate amounts of both carbohydrates and protein.
If your energy stores become drastically depleted or you
experience lactic-acid buildup, refill your glycogen stores before
your next workout or game, your body may begin breaking down
muscle tissue for the protein it needs for energy.
Directly before workout and games, consume carbohydrate
drinks with high glaycemic indexes to keep your blood sugar
sustained at an appropriate level. This will allow you to train or
play intensively for longer periods of time.

There is little to be gained,and much to be lost,by attempting to force
young players into the full game before they are
physiologically,biomecanically and cognitively ready for the activity.One of
the fundamental goals of teaching is to ensure that every player has a high
level of success. Therefore we need to assess the development readiness
of the player in each age group.
Nature decrees that children should be children before they become
adults. If we try to alter this natural order, we will reach adulthood
prematurely but with neither substance nor strength
The natural order accounts for a progressive development through time
Planning the development of young players is like preparing for a
journey. Its advisible to have a map ( plan or model) to avoid getting lost
and wasting time and energy
The major obstacles for the progress in hockey is Force of Habits.
Because of stubbornness many coaches continue with their old coaching

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY FOR COACHES
The game of hockey doesnt progress through an accumulation of many
championships or tournaments, but through continuous development of original
ideas
Tomorrows success is founded on todays preparation
The tragedy of coaching young players focuses on the fact that many coaches
may know a lot about the game, but they dont know their young pupils
Youth prefer to be stimulated instead of being instructed
Moving step by step, you may travel great distances
Too much drill will kill
Coaches who dont apply new remedies should expect to suffer new troubles
Poor performance at short term doesnt mean that the long term objectives can
not be accomplished
You can help a player a lot by correcting him, but more by encouraging him
There is no greater power on the playing field than the players intelligence
The genuine coach generate ideas and opens the mind of his players. His far
reaching task is to let the others think, instead of thinking for them
The coach or player who doesnt learn from defeat, will always be a beginner
When the coaches of today tend to teach the way they were taught in the past,
how we can expect progress
The player who runs has to think, and the one who thinks has to run
Only a coach who has got enough brain can be simple
Mastering a skill doesnt mean that the player knows to use it in precise moment
during the game
The development of the game is so fast these days that the coach who says it
cant be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it
