In this 10 minute episode of The Total Female Hockey Podcast, Coach Kim dives deep into how to develop "high frequency, high value skills" in minor hockey.

Watch, listen and share with any other players, parents, coaches and associations who would benefit from focusing on high frequency, high value skills this season and beyond.

• how their 1st BIG ONE happened
• what their recovery looked like physically, mentally & emotionally
• how the 2nd BIG ONE happened (far too quickly in both cases) and how the recovery was different
• how the attitudes & protocols with concussions have changed over the past 25 years
• what long term effects they have felt as a result of having so many concussions

In the 2nd half of the discussion (to be released in the coming weeks), Coach Kim & Kobo discuss the changes that need to be made in terms of coaching, training and reporting to make the game safer (and make players more effective physically) out on the ice.

In this 20 minute episode, Coach Kim explores the idea of implementing the POWER KILL at all levels of women's hockey.

In this episode we cover:

• The Power Kill Mentality
• Rodeo Pressure
• The Jailbreak Rule
• Whether icing should be allowed on the PK?

Why do we do what we do in hockey?

Have you ever thought about challenging the status quo and thinking outside the box when it comes to the way we play & teach the game?

In this 24 minute episode, Coach Kim challenges 2 old school hockey ideas that have been around for a long time. One focuses on the conventional ways of thinking/doing surrounding the breakout and the other focuses on ideas about handedness of players. You don't need to agree or disagree - you just need to think about it and wonder if there is a better way!

Here's the thinking outside the box on these two ideas and many more - hopefully it leads to more creative players, coaches and games!
