Make all your games valuable learning tools in practice.

What is over coaching and does it benefit your players?  Does it impact them?

Sample drills that illustrate RLD, CLA, Variability, Transfer, etc.

Players that know how to play to principles are diverse, adaptable and valuable.

In this blog post I attempt to simplify the ecological dynamics framework for coaches.

The constraints led approach, CLA.  What is it and how is it used in practice.

Ignore the system. Focus on the skills, habits and principles your players require to defend.

The PP is most effective when you have skilled players that play to principles with good habits.

Want to start the learning process as soon as your players step on the ice? These ideas may help.

Repetition Without Repetition We now reach the final environmental design principle to support an ecological dynamics approach to skill development. In part 2 we looked at the importance of session intention. Part 3 provided details and background on the use of a constraints led approach as an impactful development and teaching method, and in part 4 we dove into representative learning design. That now brings us to the concept of repetition without repetition. As you read thr
