The UK Lions Coaching Philosophy
Within UK Lions we seek to develop highly skilled junior hockey players that:
- Have a life long passion and love for the game;
- Have a positive outlook both on and off the pitch;
- Have self confidence and belief in what they do;
- Have a strong desire to learn and develop as a player;
- Have capacity to improvise and adapt as situations change;
- Have a strong mental resilience to overcome set back;
- Have pride in what they do, and take responsibility for their actions;
- Put team ethos and collective performance above all else.
We set a coaching environment which is:
- Fun and enjoyable, helping players to make lasting friendships with other like minded players from across the UK;
- Inclusive of everyone – players, family, coaches, and friends;
- Challenging, exciting and varied;
- Performance based not results centric;
- Conditioned by player self reflection rather than assessment;
- Player guided, coach facilitated.
