On this week's episode, Jonathan Lovorn looks at over-coaching and whether or not it is an issue in youth hockey. We discuss the definition of over-coaching, typical scenarios when over-coaching occurs, and how we as coaches can limit the effects of over-coaching our players. Feel free to share with other coaches, other players, and parents who want to take their hockey knowledge to the next level. See you next week for our first interview series next Thursday! 

Today, Jonathan dives into developing efficient and effective practice plans. How are we challenge our players to elevate their compete- level, and making it transitioning to our in-game performance? We take a look at two different articles as well as some USA hockey guidelines for using our ice-time efficiently and evaluating our practicing execution to develop more well rounded on-ice sessions in the future.
