I’m British. My life work is to help players reach their full potential. Challenging barriers and push them to achieve things that hasn’t been common for British players. This is all from the heart. Giving my heart to everything I can for British kids for a better tomorrow.

@GBHockeyFuture I don’t say that… 🤷 But 2012-2014 birth year may be they will be the ones to break the trend. Ok, back to work on development.

Here’s a better look at how Slafkovsky looks back at Vasilevsky right before making the pass. Completely fools him.

The most impressive part of this goal is how Slafkovsky disguises his pass. Knows he’s going to Caufield but looks directly at Vasilevsky when he makes it. Man, he continues to get better and better. #GoHabsGo

@GBHockeyFuture I wonder how many of those French guys paid £3k as an 11 year old to play in the Quebec peewee tournament…

I've always been curious: What can an NHL forward do that's hardest to defend for an NHL defenseman? Jordan Harris gave a super insightful answer:

USMNT legend Tab Ramos has called out coaching in American youth soccer 🗣️ He believes due to various circumstances, coaches are making things too complicated for young players— which ultimately harms them instead of helping them develop. “I was able to coach youth soccer outside of the national teams for a period of about 10 years,” Tab began. “Unfortunately nowadays, the game has gotten so complicated, the pyramid of soccer in this country has gotten so complicated that it's very difficult for coaches.” “By the way, it's a really big effort to get your C license, your B license, and your A license. It's an effort. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of money. And so now these coaches are going to go back to a club, you know, after spending all this money on their coaching education, those coaches have to get paid.” “And in order to get paid, you have to sort of not only teach the players, but you have to kind of put on a show of all of the things that you learn.” “So now I get to the complicated area. Because now what if you hired me in California? Here I am. I'm the former U.S. Soccer technical director and under-20 national team coach for four World Cups, and I have my pro license, and you bring me in and I take your players, because you just hired me to coach your team, because I'm this incredibly knowledgeable guy. And I come in and I just do small sided games with your players.” “The parents of the kids on your team are gonna be sitting around and going, ‘Wait, why are we paying for this?’ But this is what happens.” “See, I would have enough confidence to go there and do that. But the problem is that every coach in the country has to respond to a technical director.” “And because of that, they have to put on this very, you know, difficult training session that's in sequence from your activation, to your small five v two, to your small sided possession, to then the body of your work, to then the tactical to then the big game, right? You got to go through the whole thing.” “They have to do that. And the reason they have to do that is because their technical director is under pressure.” “Because for the technical director to have his club in this league, the ECNL, or whatever, you need to have all of these standards.” “And because of those standards, now the technical director is forced to hire someone who can do all these things.” “Well, at the end of the day, there's all these standards and all these things going on. And who's not benefiting is the player, because the player would benefit more from things being simple, right?” “And of course, it's only my opinion, but I think I've gotten enough experience. Forget the playing side. I've gotten enough experience on the coaching side at all levels, from youth national teams to coaching in MLS at Houston Dynamo to say, ‘Okay, let's put the brakes on this. Our training sessions are getting too complicated. How about let's go back to the beginning, right?’” “That's what matters. This is how players learn the most. And of course, every once in a while you have to have your tactical sessions, and your exercises, where you have the certain patterns to goal, and like I get all of that.” “Of course, we all know that stuff. But the simpler we make it, the more we put players in game like situations and one v one, the better.” [via Sports Recruiting USA]

@hockeyshooter @HenryStaelens I don’t argue that the elite league shouldn’t do what’s in the best for the league / teams - which is entertainment (win now). It’s not up to the elite league to necessarily work hand in hand on development. We have to do a better job building players to force their hand first.

@Scott3025296810 @shep_uk @HenryStaelens You’ll be surprised to hear I have on multiple occasions reached out to volunteer for GB programs - never been responded to. All I want to do is help develop players - no egos or labels. Just help each other.

@BannersOTW @HenryStaelens So the real investigation needs to be - what are Denmark doing from the day kids start to the day the leave (good enough to leave). Not a question about rinks. All about development at early years. Denmark like Sweden has a motto of ‘as many as possible, for as long as possible’
