 Best Hockey Coaching Book Out There! November 16, 2007
This is geared for Bantams, Midgets, and High School. But has tons of info and great detail. I basically took the info that applied to my team and made it out team manual.
Systems, drills, coaching advice, how to present, how to motivate, etc... its all in there.
Bottom line, it's a great book. If you're a hockey coach for these levels you need this. Its that good
Keep in mind as a coach you have to know your team and what applies to your team. You cant read this book and expect everything to work. Like most coaching book you have to use the info that applies. Be open, be creative. Don't be a coach who lives inside a book to give him/her the Xs and Os. This is a guide....a great guide. But you have to understand your team first for this to work.
 Dynamite Book for Coaching Midgets November 7, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Coaching Hockey Successfully has a loads of valuable information from hockey philosophy (teach your players to create space and time and teach them the concept of support) to good drills to teach your players hockey sense. This book would get five stars but sometimes Gendron loses you e.g. a description of a drill to which he does not have a diagram and one you do not understand. I thought it was my problem until I talked it over with a friend. This book is so valuable. If you are coaching Bantam and above, it's a top notch resource. Thanks, Red!
