Unfortunately I was not a professional athlete – hockey player, so I spent hundreds of hours getting to know the most complete international hockey and sports literature. A collection of useful links and exercises might help you too. If you have a suggestion, feel free to send it in.
How to start?
- Ask multiple professional trainer / hockey player about your child’s future opportunities. Never force it.
- Genes (physique and neural)
- Mindset: learning approach, self development
- Social background
- Financial background
- Available training facilities
- Visit your local ice hockey federation’s website for youth hockey development guides.
- Get to know the athlete development model (ADM – see in books), learn it.
- Plan, measure and enjoy everything. It will be a long story.
