This weeks episode we welcome on Travis Crickard, Program Specialist for Hockey Canada. Originally we had Travis on to talk about his Coach's Road but we get into some theoretical topics so we thought it would be a good fit for this week's episode! We get into Travis' career, the adjustments he and his team have made for COVID, the impact science has on his coaching, the experiences he had with the All Blacks and the Botany Swarm, the environment he creates for his players and much more! Overall its a great conversation with a lot of insights!
Travis recommends some books including "The Coaching Habit" by Michael Bungay Stanier, "Coaching Athletes to be Their Best" by Stephen Rollnick and "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg. He also recommends some documentaries including Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Some, and Comedian. All recommendations can be found on our google drive here: https://bit.ly/t-c-r-drive.
