In episode #278, Kim Weiss, Video Coach of the Colorado Eagles, stops by to chat.
She is a trail blazer who has relied on one tried and true method to advancing in her coaching career: learning how to make the players better.
Previously, she would become the first female to earn a win as a Head Coach in North American junior hockey with the Maryland Black Bears and was also named an Assistant Coach with the mens team at Trinity College, her alma mater, making her the first female to coach at the NCAA level on the male side.
In addition, Weiss is a two-time TCS Live presenter, covering Strategy for OT and Shootouts and Incorporating Wall Play into Practice.
Listen as she shares advice for aspiring female coaches, why coaching is all about helping players get better and why wall play is an undertaught skill.
