Hey coach. See anything different about your bench compared to teams that you play on their bench? Yeah, the other coaches have these things called coaching boards. They probably even use it before and after games as well. Or just keep screaming at kids expecting them to understand what you’re trying to say. Hey
A dry erase board is not going to help your kid. He just doesn’t get it !
Agree. If you want to develop a kid and a team, use the whiteboard instead of verbal explanation. Yelling at or over kids doesn’t work well with youth hockey players. It’s a developmental thing with a child.
Now we have parents who think using a whiteboard means good coaching. Good grief.
Fact is that 99% of all kids playing competitive sports are visual learners. They NEED to see what to do and see themselves play to understand. If a coach from Mites through Midgets isn’t using a dry erase board in practice, games, and with the team in the locker room then yes, I agree the coach isn’t coaching properly. Simple for Mites/Squirts and more complex for older ages. If your son is in Midgets and Juniors and not doing video review then the coach is a probably a yahoo.
Coaching is teaching and by its basic definition it’s transferring knowledge from what source to another in many forms. Interactive and Visual learning has proven to be the best form for any athlete.
It’s a big red flag for me when coaches at Pee Wee and younger take the bench without a white board.

How about this, I will give you a white board for your drive home with your bender...because I am sure he is already getting an earful.

But, no worries. It gives our kids an advantage.
The thing that drives me nuts is the coach with a dunks med reg and can't even open the door for a mite because he's to important as the HC.

WB on the bench is a tool and if the coach doesn't use one, they are not teaching the kids in the moment.
Would love to know what birth year we are talking about.

It does not matter what age. In school, good teachers write on the board to help explainations, they don't just talk. Same goes for good coaching.

A good coach doesn't try to teach too much during games. That's what practice is for.
If a coach is constantly trying to correct players during games, it will create confusion, doubt and a lack of confidence in the players' minds. You can't always be thinking about different approaches and be expected to perform at your best. Sometimes players have to read and react.
A simple verbal suggestion, maybe a hand gesture or two to "illustrate" at an appropriate teachable moment, combined with balanced, positive reinforcement should do it.
Save the whiteboard for practice. Bring a notebook instead and take notes on what to work on in practice. You'll be a much more effective coach for it.
I've never seen a college or pro coach using a white board.
Have you? /S

They also use electronic devices.

A sign used on the internet by stupid people to tell other stupid people that they are being sarcastic, in the process defeating the purpose of sarcasm in the first place, making the sign entirely useless

I assume you don't use a white board during pregame discussions....or are you one of those coaches that allow music to be played up until the zamboni doors close.?

Kids aren't elite athletes. Very little information is being transferred to a 10 year old by a coach frantically diagramming plays, banging on the white board with the pen for emphasis, in the middle of a game. You only THINK that is good coaching. It isn't, and a good coach knows that.
Thanks lazy coach. You probably don’t bring pucks or water bottle to the rink either....

Even USA hockey supports this method. One thing that USAH does understand is how kids learn.
"Very little information is being transferred to a 10 year old by a coach frantically diagramming plays, banging on the white board with the pen for emphasis, in the middle of a game"
- Who mentioned frantically diagramming plays?
- Who mentioned banging the white board with a pen for emphasis?
>>>Those may be your methods, but that is not what good coaches do.
Or is it that you don't like seeing junior having a whiteboard session with the coach when his shift ends? Do you see this as a reflection on you as a man when your kid has a quick WB lesson in order to improve when he is the hockey situation again?
Be on your way and leaving the coaching to the people who understand hockey AND understand how kids between the ages of 10-16 learn.

I recommend if you coach that way you add a white board instead of the note taking. Kids forget and move on. Plain and simple.

It doesn’t matter what I put on the whiteboard. Your little benders are chewing on crayons in the locker room before the game while I’m trying to draw up a proper d-zone. On the bench they have no interest. Just keep writing the checks and stop complaining. I need your money to pay for the kids who have a shot at high school JV
This though process is like screaming at a blind person driving to stay on the right side of the road....
Kids need to see it, especially this day and age.
Agree on over analyzing and coaching but come on buddy, be better. Don’t be stubborn, just learn that coaching is about realizing you are learning as you go, just like the kids. Always new ways to do something and a new ways to educate the players. The best coaches are always the most humble and modest.
Be better.

The great white board debate. Right up there with Kennedy vs. Nixon, October 1960.
If your idea of "visual teaching" is sticking a white board in front of a kid right after his shift while your coffee breath wafts in his face, then you are doing it wrong.

Hmm. Good job standing on the bench with your arms crossed looking at your phone. You riding the pine at Curry College for four years thinking you know hockey really is helping my son? FYI. Your not really a hockey guy. Sorry.
