Belfry Hockey
Darryl Belfry is hockey's premier development coach, with clients including Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, John Tavares, and Auston Matthews. But his highly sought-after training methods aren't only for elite NHL stars; Belfry's unique approach has helped players of all levels uncover new pathways to performance excellence. Belfry Hockey details this powerful curriculum, developed over years of studying relentlessly to identify strategic advantages others were missing. It's a system that emphasizes discovering authentic identity, pinpointing translatable skill, building a personal performance matrix, and more. Belfry also expounds on topics including his "leading from behind" technique and how to create time and space through stick handling, skating, and body position.

This book has some incredible insight into how to teach, but was so overwritten and really could have used editing to cut down all the filler.

Wow. A friend gave me this book. I was skeptical at first but it truly blew me away. It forced me to think differently and continue to push myself in my journey as a coach. If you are a coach in hockey then read this one.

This book was far better than expected. It 8s advertised as a book on hockey coaching when it is really a book on teaching. The word coach is rarely used. The word teach however is central.
Even though I have a hockey background, I read this as a dissertation on pedagogy. Take out every hockey player reference and substitute the word student, mentally replace hockey examples with classroom examples and the vast majority works. It could easily be used as a pedagogy textbook for teachers education.
There is so much that I have taken and will use from this book in the classroom....and so many questions I could ask based on its conclusions.
