Adaptability is important for any coach, whether it’s a new technology, process, or plan. Your ability to adapt as a coach is key to improving your players’ overall performance. Now more than ever, software and team app ingenuity have provided both coaches and players with opportunities that were never available. Data transparency is significantly helping minor hockey organizations improve. Access to historical player data allows coaches to make better, more informed decisions on and off the ice while providing coaches with improved accuracy when making top player selections.

For coaches, accessible data can lead to more effective coaching and training, providing greater insight into their players. In many cases, what was typically done using pen and paper can now be done with the click of a button in a coaching app.

Technology, including team apps, has greatly contributed to building winning teams within a team’s app.
