Key-points of my philosophy

• Ice Hockey is passion for 24-7, 365 days a year
• ice hockey is not just a sport, it´s lifestyle
• Human Quality – The players need to look forward for each session
• Work hard, work well
• Bring all yours energy onto the ice
• Teach-Develop-Support
• Strong leadership
• Ice hockey with all your heart
• trust
• just educated people can educate anybody else

Focus

• mentality, motivation, family support and interest in own development are basic for the cooperation between coach and the player
• skills are fuel, fuel for your combinations and systems. Without full skills is impossible to take the next step
• combinations, offence or defense allow to outplay the opponent, skills are used to see the players and to be seen
• systems, tactics are the highest level of ice hockey. But the basement is about the skills. Systems are used to play controlled a controlled game with all players on the ice

Why have skills the highest priority?

• I want to educate creative players
• no fixed positions in modern hockey, you have to know everything
• no skills, no combinations, no systems
• learn to take right decisions at the right moment and to have options how to do it
• basics are skating, passing and shooting, the basic in the second level are situations 1-1, offence-defence
