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.

n addition to that, Brian was a presenter at the most recent Sports Women's Skill Conference which is available for purchase. I really enjoyed his presentation here. I like how he had a framework for some of these concepts which can be a little complicated in ecological dynamics and applied it in a very actionable way.

So after hearing that and learning a little bit more about him, I knew I wanted to have him on the show in this conversation. As all of our conversations on this podcast, it's wide ranging, but we dive into some skill acquisition topics in hockey, some of the infrastructure that has been traditional in hockey, and what Brian is doing to change that.

Really enjoyed this conversation with Brian. Even if you don't coach hockey or work with hockey athletes, this is something that you're going to want to definitely listen to before we get to the episode.

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