New coaches often feel like they are imposters, meaning that they don't know what they are doing. Sometimes this feeling persists even after multiple seasons as a winning coach. Our guest on this episode is Coach Chris Lothier, who both feels like an imposter and has coached three championship teams in a row.

Rather than establishing himself as an authority,  Coach Chris empowers his coaching staff and players to drive both the culture and hockey. The tactics that he uses includes allowing players to choose the MVP, letting players choose drills, and using positive affirmations.

Coaching Call is a show about coaching grassroots hockey.  We believe in using sport to make players better people on and off the ice. Your hosts are David Trombley, a coach with 30 years of experience at all levels and ages, and Susan Sim, a new house league coach. Submit your questions at http://newcoach.ca/ or in the comments.
