In our series of masterclasses we sometimes like to bring coaches & experts from outside of hockey. How to bring applied neurosciences into coaching will be brought to you by Andy Longley, from New Zealand and the sport of rugby rather than hockey.

How to bring applied neurosciences into coaching

We know it is the coach who makes the team-work, work! The majority of traditional sports coaching development focuses on skills, drills and tactics. But this neglects the most important element of high performance… the team environment. With their backgrounds in psychology, neuroscience and in elite sport from Olympians to the Premier League football they set themselves a challenge. They dedicated themselves to find a way to make the science of team performance available to sports coaches, no matter what the sport, no matter what the country, in a really practical way.

In our live & interactive masterclass, Andy sheds some light in 1 topic of how to start bringing applied neuroscience into your coaching. Following the masterclass we launched a more in-depth premium course for those among you who want to master the skills and apply these in your day-to-day coaching activities.

Here you ‘ll see the recording from this masterclass in full ↓ It will give you a first taste. If you like what you see consider getting the full in depth course with over 8 hours worth of video content & a certificate of completion at the end of it.

The goal of the game is to win. That means scoring at least one time more than your opponent. Because this is hockey, that requires certain behaviour in the circle or D. So who better than Alyson Annan to explore the circle behaviour that gets us this winning goal…
