Ep 92 - Challenging Tradition: The Case for Modernizing Hockey Coaching w/ Brian Gillam

Written By Javier Miller-Estrada

Welcome to today’s episode! My guest today is Brian Gilliam

Brian works in hockey and has been working in player development for 39 years. He's the owner of Brian Gillum Hockey, which specializes in player and coach development. He is a Hockey Canada skills coach, coach development coordinator with Hockey Eastern Ontario and a Hockey Canada coach developer.

In addition, Brian was a presenter at the most recent Sports Movement Skill Conference, which is now available for purchase on our website. During his presentation, he shared a framework for modern skill acquisition concepts that I found incredibly helpful

After learning more about Brian, I knew I had to have him on the show for a conversation. In this episode, we explore skill acquisition topics in hockey, discuss some of the traditional infrastructure in the sport, and dive into the changes Brian is driving to innovate the game.

I really enjoyed this conversation with Brian. Even if you don’t coach hockey or work with hockey athletes, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Take a listen!

Right now, our new course Boing Playventure is on SALE.  Check it out here if to invest into your coaching.
