Hockey Wales 360° Assistant Coach Hockey Wales 360° Assistant Coach Overview of 360 Hockey Centres The Talent development pathway has emerged as part of the holistic ‘Hockey for Life’ framework, through extensive research and consultation involving key stakeholders within Hockey Wales. The main aim is to promote a bespoke ‘Welsh Way’ of playing and delivering hockey, providing a shared vision to come together and deliver a holistic framework for all to engage, grow and excel in Hockey, one system for all. If we can all work towards this, we have the potential to: . Provide opportunities for as many people as possible to achieve their potential . Develop a stronger base for hockey to achieve more success at all levels of the game . Develop senior internationals for Wales and Great Britain . Develop national & international role models to inspire future talent The vision is to deliver a player-centred, development driven and competition-supported system, designed to permit talent to thrive. The Talent Development pathway has six tiers. Tier 1 Participation and development within clubs and schools Tier 2 360° Hockey Centres for Talent Development – learning to train and training to train Tier 3 Performance Clubs Tier 4 International Programmes (age group, Wales A and Wales) Tier 5 AspireGB Programme Tier 6 GB Youth & GB Senior Programme Purpose of 360o Hockey C entres In favour of the longitudinal talent development process these centres will be run over a series of months in the year allowing growth to take place over a substantial period of time. Training sessions will take place on pre-set dates according to a priority calendar on a Sunday. Sunday sessions allow players to have more valuable time spent in one block, allowing time for self-reflection and the deliberate practice required to achieve their potential and in addition the supporting areas of performance, such as lifestyle, mental skills and physical conditioning. The additional advantage is to train in daylight hours and when players are not fatigued from the school day. In line with talent development philosophy and current research, players will be coached to develop core skill performance in game situation environments rather than preparing players for competition or selection.
