In episode 294 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome back a man who requires no introduction (but we'll give one anyway): Player Development Coach Daniel Broberg.
Broberg is the founder of DB Hockey Factory and is regarded as one of the top development coaches in the game, travelling the world extensively to work with players, teams, clubs of all levels, and is sought after by some of the the top players in hockey to improve and refine their skills.
We recently collaborated on a course, 7 Steps From Basic Skills to Smooth Power, which provides players and coaches with a blueprint for building a foundation that will not only enhance fundamental skating and puck skills, but also empower players to read and react to whatever the game gives them and tap into the full spectrum of their creativity. Check it out here.
On top of that, Daniel will be presenting on-ice at this June's TCS Live coaching conference for the first time ever. Save your spot to meet him in person!
Listen as he shares the importance of posture in skill development, why players need to face adversity on their own, and why finding the state of "flow" is the key to building elite players.
