Ep 7. How can I still be a head coach if I have a professional skills coach?

A fellow new coach was nervous about losing his authority as a head coach if he had professional skills coaches. David gives advice on using a team approach to coaching. We bring in a goalie skills coach, Daniel Vella, to offer his perspective on working collaboratively.

Coaching Call is is a question show about coaching grassroots hockey. We have a certain take on coaching hockey. We believe in using sport to make players better people on and off the ice. Your hosts are David Trombley, a coach with 30 years of experience at all levels and ages, and Susan Sim, a new house league coach. Submit your questions at http://newcoach.ca/ or in the comments.
