Ken Martel is the Technical Director at USA Hockey (ice not field!!) and has been leading change in the development of the sport of Ice Hockey across the USA for over a decade. His passion and commitment to make the experience for young people as good as it can be shines through in the conversation.
Areas we discuss include:
- How Ice hockey went from being a sport where 60% of kids quit by age 11 to a sport that now has a 90% retention rate.
- How they developed their player development framework, the 'American Development Model'.
- How the principles of Non-Linear Pedagogy are embedded in their development programmes
- The challenges they faced in implementing the framework and working with volunteer coaches
- Some ideas about how to develop movement agility while keeping perception and action coupled.
Its a great conversation, hope you enjoy
