Today’s coaching landscape has changed. Gone are the “my way or the highway” coaches and now it is more of a relationship/partnership. These workshops have paid off quickly. We have defused a couple of hot topic conversations before they went to a difficult conversation. I love that Dr. Cassidy Preston is a hockey guy and speaks hockey. He gets what we are going through and provides simple and effective solutions!

I gained a new outlook on coaching because Dr. Cassidy Preston takes the “Family First” and “Player First” philosophies to the next level. If you are willing to invest the time to be a high achiever, your athletes will do the same. The workshops are a great experience that offers an awesome opportunity to network with some phenomenal people in the hockey world. With all the “hustle and bustle” of a normal season, it is easy to pass over things such as crucial conversations and self-evaluation, but their importance is highlighted in this program. I really liked the workshops and would love to get Dr. Preston involved with my teams.

I was able to take away something valuable each week I worked with Dr. Preston. Coaches will learn how to teach their athletes to motivate themselves, establish autonomy among their team, and to have the difficult conversations that every coach encounters. I never missed out, even when I couldn’t make it, because every session is recorded. I really enjoyed this program and I will be a better coach because of it.

I really enjoyed doing the live sessions and having the opportunity to learn and share with other coaches from all different levels of hockey as everyone has their own unique experiences and lessons they have learned. Being an individual who craves knowledge, I made sure to soak up as much as I could from those sessions.

I enjoyed the workshops and I certainly learned a lot. I was able to become a better coach because I was introduced to techniques on how to create an environment that will bring out the best in my players. I will be different behind the bench, letting my players play and learn during the game, as opposed to directing them as I have in the past. Dr. Preston emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than the results which will help my team develop their skills and have fun at the same time. Every coach needs workshops like this before they even begin their coaching career.
