Nick Smallridge (Never Tell Them What You Think + Who Do We Coach When On The Ball/Puck?)

On this episode of the Hockey IQ podcast, we sit down with Nick Smallridge to talk about 2 of his newsletters diving deep into how to approach giving instructions to players.

A few areas on this episode we discuss:

• Never telling your players what you think
• Stories of epiphany
• Poor phrases, "You need..." & "You should..."
• How to approach team talks between halves and periods
• Preparing mentally for future potentialities
• Language of coaching
• How to be more effective with coaching cues/yelling during games
• Best feedback for players in possession, close support, far support, and on the bench.
• Practical application of all the above
