PGKA COACH CERTIFICATION

Some reasons why it's worth registering:

- it is required to be present on the benches of the PGKA and PAMA teams;

- To work within international parameters;

- 24/7 support and access to our head coaches;

- it is required in order to become a coach on PGKA camps;

- it is required in order for the pgka management to reference you as a qualified coach.

Be respectful

One of the most important habits for a hockey coach to have is to always show respect. Giving your players fantastic advice is no use if you’re rude to them and act superior and condescendingly; your players won’t listen to you at all.

Respect forms the basis for all strong relationships.

Be encouraging/use positive reinforcement

Alike the habit of showing respect, always do your best to encourage your players and use positive reinforcement.

With a bit more encouragement and positive reinforcement, you may be surprised at seeing the amount of effort from your players skyrocket.

Set a good example

No matter the age group or skill level, your players look up to you as an example. Do your best to follow the standard that you set, or else your actions will diminish the value of what you’re teaching. Remember Players won’t listen to a coach who shows up late to every practice but then demands that the team show up on time

Learn

Just because you’re teaching hockey doesn’t mean your learning stops!

All the most successful coaches in the world continue to study the game of hockey. The only way to improve is to identify your mistakes, accept them, and strive to fix them.

To make sure you’re improving, you should have dedicated study time.
