On the Built From Steel Podcast, Coach Andy Paquette and I cover everything from parent, player, and coaching focused topics. Sometimes its technical - skill breakdowns, positional plays, systems, statistics and studies - and other times we are more into the philosophical discussions. I personally find the philosophical areas most interesting to talk about because we can really get into some key questions all coaches should reflect on. 

To name a few:

Why do we coach? 

What's the goal in youth hockey?

What lessons can be taught? 

What values do we want to build our program around? 

Our last two episodes I particularly enjoyed becuase we ventered into this space a bit. If you're like us and enjoy hearing other perspectives and a more long-term vision of what the game can bring players, parents, and coaches alike, check it out:

Ep.37 | The Key Lessons You Learn Playing Hockey

Ep.38 | 5 Undervalued Qualities All Hockey Players Need
