Glen Gulutzan: The Coaches Site

[Boreal]

It's the middle of the hockey desert so I thought this might be appreciated.

The Coaches Site also gives a 30 day free trial if you feel like binge watching coaching seminars.

Keenan's talk from a few years back was interesting. When he said the first thing he did when he became coach of the Blackhawks in the 80's was remove the ash trays from each locker it just reaffirmed to me that Gretzky scored his points against chain smoking alcoholics.

Glen's talk is also good.

Key Takeaways

1. Hockey sense overrides positioning: Like every coach on Earth, Gulutzan has a structured system to help his players make decisions. But unlike some coaches, Gulutzan ultimately wants his players to trust their instincts. It’s tough to teach hockey sense, so Gulutzan allows his players to exercise theirs and feel confident in their decisions.
