PLAYER EVALUATION AND SELECTION wishes. Along the Yellow Brick Road, they found a sense of belonging, wisdom, love, and courage, not by focusing on the Emerald City in the distance, but by focusing on the Yellow Brick Road, the journey, and each step along the way. Not surprisingly, OZ had little to offer that compared to the dream they’d been living on their path. You too can live your DREAM everyday. Pay attention to the feelings you love the most. Do the work to create them. Return to your dream when you come across obstacles. This will allow you to keep from anticipating the glory of the pot of gold, the “Great and Powerful OZ”. Instead you can enjoy your Yellow Brick Road, and all the wonders it will reveal along the way. - 65 - © <strong>Hockey</strong> Canada
PLAYER EVALUATION AND SELECTION RELEASING PLAYERS Taken from the Coaches Club – www.coachesclub.net One of the toughest tasks a coach faces is telling players they did not make the team. Although difficult, releasing players must be approached with planning and sensitivity to ensure try-outs are a growth experience, not one which damages players’ self-esteem. The first step is effective planning of your try-out sessions. Develop a clear player selection plan, taking into consideration the number of players, the qualities you are looking for, how to evaluate these qualities, and the ice-time available. Once your plan is in place, inform players and parents of all details. Outline your player selection plan, including evaluation criteria, objectives of drills and scrimmages and time lines for selection. Clear communication here will prevent misunderstandings later. Before you make decisions to release players, develop a clear plan to inform them. Never post a list or read the names of players to be released in front of the team. Always meet with each player individually. Here are suggestions for these meetings: • be honest and straightforward: tell players why they did not make the team, identify strengths and weaknesses • invite questions and provide players with constructive feedback to guide further improvement • don’t make future promises: direct players to other teams, thank them for their efforts, and encourage them to work hard and improve After releasing players, be prepared to answer questions from parents. Be honest and straightforward with parents, and avoid confrontations. Remember, try-outs are a vehicle to place players on teams where they will benefit most. Releasing players is never easy, however, it’s really important to meet with players one-on-one! - 66 - © <strong>Hockey</strong> Canada
