In this Coach's Road we explore the journey of Shaun Hathaway, Executive Director of Team Colorado Girls AAA Hockey Program. Shaun also serves as the Head Coach of the Colorado Springs Jr. Tigers 14 & Under team and the ADM Coordinator for the state of Colorado. Previously Shaun served as the Executive Director of the Aspen Leafs and has been involved in youth hockey in Colorado since 1997. Shaun has a Masters in Sports Studies from the University of Miami, Ohio and a Masters in Teaching from Colorado College. He received both of his Masters after studying Political Science at Knox College.
This is our first episode exploring the road of a youth hockey coach and Shaun had very valuable lessons to share with us! We chat with Shaun about his start in coaching, his current motivation and how he develops players and clubs. Some really great practical ideas about coaching, building relationships with players, establishing your values and philosophy in a club and what an ideal club would look like for Shaun.
