So far this year, next to a full-time job, coaching a youth hockey team, recording podcasts, and trying to write articles, I sometimes don’t have enough time to scroll Twitter (I refuse to call it X). When I do, I typically make sure I check out a few different sources or accounts to make sure that I’m staying up to date and still learning (outside of The Hockey Focus and Trimbles accounts). I figured if I’m enjoying them, why not share them with others?
I’ve recently started following Andrew Brewer on Twitter as I enjoy his use of the FastModel Sports diagramming program he’s been using for different sequences that have happened so far this season. The software is used by 28 of 30 NBA teams and 7 NHL teams. I encourage coaches, especially at the older levels to reach out to Andrew and see if this is something they can use for their teams!
Mike is another account that I’ve recently found that has been great with video and analytics with the NHL Network using SportLogiq showing what’s going on or why things are being done.
Kyle is another coach who is using Twitter as a personal video coach for the masses and giving great quality information and feedback on different situations within the game.
IceHockeySystems.com has been one of my favorite websites that I use daily for creating practice plans for my team. Their free drill drawer program on their website is a fantastic tool that more coaches need to take advantage of. Since I have the full account, I’m able to save these drills and create practice plans, search already archived drills and small area games, watch videos on skill development, and new off-ice exercises as well as pre-made practice plans and videos from the NHL that translate! Such a great resource of information that is always being updated and new content released using fantastic coaches such as Alyssa Gagliardi, Wes Wolfe, TJ Manatersky, and many more!!
I’ve been following Topher for years and he’s putting out great quality content daily. Now that he’s no longer with the University of Michigan and is back to running the ThinkTank full-time, he’s pumping out even more content and continuing to provide great podcast episodes with Jeff Lovecchio.
