See attached presentations.

The first one Dusan gave at the IIHF symposium in 2011 and was identical to what he presented at the HCSA clinic. Sorry, no video.

The second one is from Damian Farrow. I am re-reading one of his books right now and it is a great one! "Developing Sport Expertise – Researchers and Coaches put Theory into Practice" – 2008 His presentation also comes from the 2011 IIHF clinic.

I disagree with one of Farrow's last slides regarding the use of video training / watching.

In my mind, without hearing his presentation, if he is referring to USA Hockey's 'new' video training system or something similar (watching the play as a third person and having to make 'decisions' as the third person), I see little value in that; we have had that discussion on this site a year ago and those who responded agreed with me… it would be better to watch video with a coach / mentor to try to detect examples of good and bad decision making and if bad, ask the player what could have been done differently. But at the end of the day, third person video is not first person video! And if it isn't the person who 'lived; the video footage who is watching the video, there is even less connection / motivation to the video… meaning that it has more impact if it is personal footage!
