Opening Seminar: Player Video Analysis to Build Development Plan
Darryl opens the Workshop with an inside look into his video analysis process to build an individual player development plan. This will be an inside look into the way he assesses the video to determine the development priorities. Darryl will profile an actual player and walk through the process. Will be a fascinating direct insight into his process.
Ice Session 1: Individual Development Plan
This ice session will be a private lesson with with the target player digging right into the development plan we established during the opening session Individual Player Development Session base.
Both Darryl and the player will be mic’d so you’ll hear every interaction. Ice Session 2 & 3: Group Skate Stitching Development Plans
This will be a group ice session and Darryl will stitch the individual development plan of our target player into a group session. The fascinating part of this skate will be that every player on the ice will have an individual plan of objectives that will be stitched into the skate.
Seminar 2: Practice Theming and Drill Design
This seminar Darryl will walk participants through his process of drill design and what considerations he factors in to build the drills into a practice theme. Building an undercurrent of development with an emphasis on maximizing reps and creating teaching moments to work the drill will be front and center.
Opening Reception Seminar: Player Relationship Building
There has been a lot said about building relationships with players, Darryl’s focus in building a relationship is set squarely on building trust through
development achievement. The proving process in the development path and inviting the player to fully commit is what will be detailed.

In this ice session, Darryl will execute the practice plan created in Seminar 2

Ice Session 6 & 7: Group Player Development Stitching
This ice session is the same group we have been working with each day in this time slot and he will continue their development path while stitching each players individual development needs into the group drills.
Seminar 5: Developing Inter-Player Leadership
This will be an awesome dive into how we as coaches and skill instructors can influence the development of meaningful and practical leadership skill of all the players on our ice. Inter-player leadership is a fascinating exploration and will be a great discussion that should promote a lot of reflective thought in our coaches.
Ice Session 8: Practice Habits and Developing Inter-Player Leadership
On this ice session Darryl will imprint practice habits and build inter-player leadership in the group. This promises to be one of those ice sessions that will be a massive paradigm shift in how coaches work a practice for more soft skill development in their athletes.
Seminar 6: Pushing Reps to Instinct
For the final seminar Darryl will outline the process of how investing in reps with a path to instinct actually occurs. This will essentially pull the athlete through the phases of development and the stages of skill acquisition. Darryl believes that skill acquisition is through the multiplicity of interactions with skill, and he will show how this integrates with teaching games.
Ice Session 9 and 10: Pushing Reps to Instinct in Training
The final ice session will tie in all the aspects of the workshop together and the best of the teaching process will be illustrated.
Seminar 7: Review Ice Session and Final Workshop Questions
The end of the Workshop we love coaches and skill coaches to be able to ask questions they didn’t already have a chance to ask throughout the workshop.
