Coaching Youth Hockey
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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.
Good for beginners

I was taking a coaching class in college and used this book to supplement my class text books. Had some very good tips for new coaches and how to get the players involved. Introduced good concepts. Would recommend.
Hockey review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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.
A Must for the Hockey Coach's Toolkit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
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!
