Weiss Tech Coaching Clinics This is a bit of a sneak preview into something I've been working on, and I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm putting the finishing touches on a full-blown coaching clinic, that will be completely online. I'm actually really excited about it. You see, I've been wanting to do something like this for YEARS, but the technology hasn't been available to do it right, UNTIL NOW. There will be more details to come, but this clinic is going to be about 18+ hours of solid, usable material. All done live, online, with the ability for interaction from the participants. It's going to be AWESOME. In the meantime, could you do me a favor, and fill out this survey? It's only one question, but it'll help…

Declutter Your Training Space with the Evolution Stick Rack If you're anything like me, your home training center probably gets cluttered pretty quickly. We've got 3 boys, who all play... So we've got their sticks, my sticks, plus a few random lacrosse sticks, always out and in the way. Needless to say, the Evolution Stick Rack has been a great product to keep our training center decluttered!

The double-decker design gives you hanging options, keeps your sticks from swinging, and also…

Improve Your Coaching Through Technology

Using Technology to Improve Your Coaching One of my goals at Weiss Tech Hockey is to help coaches improve their game through technology. I believe that technology can help coaches communicate more effectively with their players, increase their knowledge base, network with other coaches, and find opportunities to be mentored… the sky is the limit! Recently, Apple has revamped their iBooks app, which has created a neat platform that is perfect for producing and consuming educational material. The first time I saw what the new platform was capable of, I immediately thought of our playbook! So I set to work reconfiguring the playbook to take advantage of this new platform. In the iBooks version of the Weiss Tech Playbook, we’ve taken our written playbook, with text and diagrams, and we’ve…

Green Biscuit Among the Top 20 Products of Walmart's "On the Shelf" Contest Green Biscuit has made it to the Top 20 of Walmart's "On the Shelf" contest. This is awesome news for Green Biscuit and for our game as a whole! I wanted to take a minute and fill you in on how the competition works, what's already happened, and where it goes from here. Here we go! On the Shelf The competition started back in July--Walmart asked people to submit their products.
