HOCKEY DVDS

Spectel has produced a selection of excellent hockey coaching videos

featuring international coach Gavin Featherstone.


THE TEAM COACHING SERIES
Achieving Success in Modern Team-Play

Many coaching manuals and training videos have concentrated on the coaching and acquisition of individual skills. The Team Coaching Series looks towards the ability of teachers and coaches to observe and recognise team attributes from selected highlights of international matches. In an innovative, interactive approach, ‘Team Coaching’ asks the viewer to identify the key assets of the highlighted team. Once the assets are recognised, the viewer is challenged to produce a game plan to defeat that style of play!

All five releases in the Team Coaching Series have been fully endorsed by the FIH Coaching Committee.

The programmes highlight five contrasting styles of international hockey which have dominated the world game in recent years: -

1. The attacking approach of the Australian team in “Hockey Down Under”;
2. The intricate skills of the Argentineans in “Hockey Latino”;
3. The more progressive tactical play in “Hockey Goes Dutch”
Including Taeke Taekema’s full demonstration of the drag flick at penalty corners
4. The passion and skills of India and Pakistan in “Hockey Zindabad”
5. The emerging talents of the Chinese and Korean teams in “Hockey Oriental”

Throughout the Team Coaching series, we challenge the viewer to identify common threads, strengths and weaknesses of the featured team styles with the aim of expanding the coaches’ knowledge and their teams’ execution of the game.

The commentary team of international personnel, headed by Olympic coach Gavin Featherstone, examines the style and attributes of play,which could be adapted to a local club or school. The second half of the DVD is the Coach’s response to recognition of the key points by a full presentation of the game plan, using computer graphics and multi-camera ‘Hock-eye’ technology.

‘Hock-eye’ presents the producers’ recommendations to score and defend against the set piece Penalty Corners of the analysed team – it truly is a first for Hockey to use such advanced technical expertise. The producers, with coaches and players from around the globe, use freeze-frame, slow motion and directional graphics to help present game planning subsequent to informed analysis. The Hockey is entertaining, the presentation is varied, but beyond all the fun and technical wizardry there is a real opportunity for teachers and coaches to improve their analytical and creative skills to enhance their own team’s performance.

England Hockey’s Coaching Development Unit has prioritised the importance of coaching in the game. The series is aimed at intermediate levels, for the coach who is beyond the skills instruction stage and responsible for team groups. It is a very useful training tool for encouraging in-service development. A Head Coach can use the material to stimulate their assistants’ abilities to read the play and put his/her ideas into practice.

All programmes are available from Spectel at £25 + £3.00 p&p for the DVD and £20 + £3.00 p&p for the VHS, inclusive of VAT. Please make payment by cheque or BACS with your order.
