Detroit Red Wings Development Coach Dwayne Blais: Encouraging independence in young players, keys to playing fast and skill development through touches

In episode #233 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by Dwayne Blais, who is a Player Development Consultant with the Detroit Red Wings, and for our money, one of the top development coaches in the world. Blais has over 20 years of experience in the game, specifically focused on how players improve on the mechanics and habits that exist within their individual game, so that they can bring more value to their respective teams. Check out his TCS Live presentation on Implementing Skills to Play with Pace and his Global Skills Showcase video where he Breaks Down the Skill of Deception. Listen as he shares why kids should be carrying their own hockey bags, why playing fast is about more than just skating fast, and why the key to skill development is simply more touches.
