Amazing True Story About the Power of Positive Words


Shaquille O'Neal at 13 years old was cut from his high school basketball team. The coach said. ''he was too big, clumsy and slow." Fortunately for Shaq, he had met legionary college coach Dale Brown from LSU.  Brown told Shaq, " keep working out and being the best you can be." Dale Brown provided Shaq  with encouragement and a training program to follow. Sometimes we all need some inspiring words and a good training manual.   Where would Shaquille O'Neal be today without the help of coach Dale Brown?  Today go the extra mile  to say a kind word and inspire  someone.

The Job of the Head Coach: 

You get to coach players as long as they let you. (Chuck Daly)

Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.

                                                                                                                               

-Vince Lombardi

"The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, the great teacher inspires."

                                                                                                                     

 -William Arthur Ward

The Art of Passing

Philosophy:

The best passing team can become the best offensive and defensive club.

• They see the ice better than other clubs
• They see players away from the puck 

Term:

• Good vision leads to good offensive and defensive decisions

Four "T's" of Passing:

Black Sea Cup:  Erzurum Gençlikspor & Georgia 

• Technique
• Type
• Think & Execute Off Puck 
• Timing

The Four T's of Passing are key to developing fundamental sound players. 

The best players maintain good technique at all times. Good technique must be emphasized on every pass. 

• Cup, Push, Point

The passer must choose the right type of pass. The player must choose when to use touch passes, first and second touch skating and passing. Players must choose when to make short or long pass. Players must choose when to pass to stick, space or use no space play. Players need to know when to use the boards to make a pass or clear.

Types of Passes

• Forehand
• Backhand
• 1 touch, 2 touch, 3 touch
• 1 time
• Saucer
• Snap
• Slap
• Use of boards

Each player must be "thinking off the puck" and working on being in position to receive a pass. Players need to work on things like:  Am I calling for the puck when open? Can I see the puck? Am I in the best place for a pass? How can I give my teammate an option? Can I create space for others? The best players are always thinking and executing "OFF the Puck".

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been - Wayne Gretzky

The 4th "T" is for timing. Both the player with the puck and without the puck need to work on timing skills. Timing is everything in hockey. Arrive a little to fast, a little to slow and the play results in a turnover. The player with the puck must choose the right pace of the pass. Pass to hard it arrives to fast. Pass to slow, it behind the receiver or the puck is intercepted.

Sweeney Drill - 1 v 0

Term:

• Control Skate, Communicate & Accelerate

Coaches must work on the "Four T's" if they want to improve their team play. When players master the three T's, puck handling, passing, scoring and tactics will all improve.

 

Techniques:   

Receiving Passes:

• Always position yourself where you can see the puck clearly
• Call for the puck
• Your stick needs to be out in front of your body
• Your stick needs to be on the ice
• Your stick needs to form a right angle when receiving pass
• Skate to the puck, do not stop skating and reach
