Hockey Drawing Board

After talking with Marc Slawson, Head Coach of the 2009 Toronto Titans; a U15 AAA program that plays in the GTHL in the Ontario Hockey Federation, it’s understood that time is money and, of course, every minute on the ice counts.

“For us, CoachThem has a multi-purpose dimension to it,” says Slawson. He explained that the number one aspect which is the most beneficial to him and his team is that CoachThem is a huge time saver. Instead of having to go back to the hockey drawing board, diagram a practice, and review what the theme of the practice is during valuable ice time, the practice plan is prepared ahead of time and is distributed to players before even stepping foot into the arena.

 

“The key is efficiency. It’s a simple formula;

efficiency saves us time and money,” 

-says Slawson

 

With this, of course, there’s an expectation on the player's behalf to review the practice plan before arriving and to prepare any questions that could be addressed before hitting the ice. “From an economic standpoint, it saves us time and it saves us money by just allowing us to be more efficient,” Slawson says.

CoachThem saves time by not having to go over any conversations, the theme of the practice, and what the drills are, as it’s already been taken care of by the prepared practice plan that’s been sent to players in advance. “The distribution is simple; two buttons and you’re done,” says Slawson.

 

 

The time that’s been saved becomes available for answering any questions and/or for team building. Instead of having to do an overview of the practice, this time before hitting the ice can be used to work with individuals and get more one-on-one time with players, which we all know is very important.

With quick and easy access to thousands of drills through our marketplace, functionality is simple. No more spending hours searching for a specific drill; it’s a one-stop shop, and our platform saves vital preparation time.

“The key is efficiency. It’s a simple formula; efficiency saves us time and money,” says Slawson, though there’s more to that, it’s “the ability to maximize the value of our money and be able to maximize our time.”
