Glass And Out: Calgary Flames Head Coach Ryan Huska: Breakout Drills, The Lost Art Of Passing And Celebrating The Small Wins
Episode Description
In episode 315 of the Glass and Out Podcast we collaborated with Hockey Calgary for their 4th Annual Leadership Day and sat down with Flames Head Coach Ryan Huska. Huska is a good friend of The Coaches Site, having previously joined Glass and Out and presented multiple times at our TCS Live event. This was a very special interview as we brought a white board on stage and let him showcase some of the drills and teaching progressions he's used throughout his career. It offered a fascinating look at how an NHL coaching staff manages the limited practice time they have throughout the season to prepare their team. There is a lot that coaches can learn from them in terms of their efficiency in delivering a message. Every detail is thought out and no time is wasted. Listen as he shares his favourite drills for breakouts and encouraging competition, why the skill of passing is often missing in today's player and why it's curcial to always celebrate the small and big wins with your team.
