SEERA Coach Mentorship Program

Coach mentoring services can be tailored to address the unique needs of an individual coach, group of coaches or an entire association. We use a variety of methods to optimize the results of the mentoring process and to help ensure that we are providing each coach the direction, support and resources that s/he requires. Coaches, just like players, have many questions and a desire to learn and grow within their chosen position.

  • How to deal with parent and/or player concerns.
  • How to effectively plan practices.
  • How to efficiently make use of ice time and space.
  • How to properly use assistants.
  • How to effectively teach skating, passing or shooting.
  • How to use progression to teach hockey skills and tactics, such as passing, shooting and puck handling.
