Outcomes won't define you . . . your persistence and process will.
Coach David provides 20+ years of continuous learned experiences and passion towards the DEVELOPMENT of 6U through College age players.
DEVELOPMENT = INSTINCTIVE IQ (hockey & life).
The process is long-term development towards the complete player. Not short-sighted . . . on the fast-track win or gain, simply for the moment.
Coach Davids' consistent reminder
as a father of 4 middle-childhood kids,
is that they are NOT mini-adults.
Leaders INSPIRE attention and dialogue,
they don't insecurely demand it.
Growth occurs in a player centric, creative environment.
(Please see parent and leader quotes).
And with this mindset the uncomfortable becomes less-feared; In fact embraced -
with newfound confidence.
The DK Hockey result is mental and physical development.
As life, each process is a building block towards the next.
In Hockey. In Life.
Trust the Process.
Development Knowledge Hockey is a continuous collaboration with Directors, Developers, Coaches and Players from USA Hockey, Finland, Czech Republic, Globally ranked AAA Teams, up through the National Hockey League.
Additional dialogue with sports and children psychologists, pediatricians and parents of kids who have played both recreationally and professionally . . . and what they learned along their journey.
Respected leaders - some within groups utilizing Millions of dollars and resources - whom understand the constant change and evolution of youth mindsets and development.
"Tyler had such a great time at camp!
You created a fun learning environment he always looked forward to.
Although each player had
different levels of experience,
you encouraged falling and
not being the fastest.
That really resonated with Tyler.
It inspired him to try new things
while developing new skills (at home also!)
Thanks for helping to grow his confidence
with all the time & effort you placed
in camp each day."

But the life lesson values of

" The way you get down to the kids levels, promoting respect and self discipline is
very important and what I find most valuable.
I can see the passion and love you have
for the game being transferred to the
kids exceeding what i've witnessed
of any coach or camp.
What we want as parents.
We WILL definitely be involved
in more of your camps!"

" I just want to thank you for the time and effort you put into the development of your camp this summer! The growth I have seen in my boys' has been astronomical!
Their skating, skills and overall confidence improved greatly. My boys have had such a positive experience to the point where they are actively looking for you at the rink to say hi :)
This just goes to show the level of coaching
with adult / kid communication and relationship building you provide.
So thank you again for your style of
coaching and commitment to the kids."
