Breaking Down the Latest Hockey Buzzword, “Development,” With Guest Jon Lounsbury, Player Development Coach - EP 371

This week Topher and Jeff talk with Jon Lounsbury, player development coach for multiple NHL players and owner of 11 Hockey. We have heard about the word “development” being thrown around frequently and big promises from coaches to develop players, but what does that even mean? In this episode we discuss Lounsbury’s take on how to truly help players develop and thrive.

In this episode we talk about:

— Giving the game back to the kids by asking what they want

— End-of-season exit meetings and giving specific, constructive feedback

— Ditching the ego and recognizing that every year is a new year to try something new if things didn’t work

— Developing versatile players

AND SO MUCH MORE!
