“Developing the tactical thinking in young players while coaching technical skills” by Coach Shiv Jagday

And this is where we, the Shiv’s Coaching Academy coaching staff, sharply disagrees with the Hockey Guru’s who preach to coach skills in isolation. Shiv’s Coaching Academy philosophy is to coach the technical and tactical skills in the context of the game. Use Cones as field markers only and not as opponents to dribble through, while remaining players are standing in a row for their turns.

Can you do this visualization exercise?
Imagine yourself, being in the player’s shoes. What would you have done? Do comparative analysis of the tactical thinking between yourself and the player’s point of view. What it resulted in and why? This will help you sharpen your memory skills, resulting in better Pattern Recognition and Re-calling.
