Mike Weaver on The Leverett Ball Show: From NHL Defenseman to Building Better Coaching Tools
CoachThem Co-Founder and CEO Mike Weaver recently joined The Leverett Ball Show to reflect on his journey from undrafted player to a 633-game NHL career, and the work that has followed since stepping away from the game.
In the conversation, Mike shares stories from his time with the Atlanta Thrashers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues, Florida Panthers, and Montreal Canadiens. He also discusses leadership, visualization, player development, and the lessons elite athletes carry into life after professional sports.
Today, Mike brings that same player-first perspective to CoachThem, helping coaches build clearer drills, more organized practice plans, and stronger development environments for their teams.
